We have a message to share – a free gift of eternal salvation.
What an opportunity we have to be able to have a school like Evergreen to share and encourage our teens in the PNW through Christian education. This is no small task, there are many jobs and expenses needed to run this ministry. By God’s grace and your help, we are able to do wonderful things together at Evergreen. If you have any questions, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss them. Below you will see a list of ways you can get involved and support our students. Again, we are so happy you share our passion for Christian education and the need our society has for it. I hope to talk with you soon on how we can find a new way to partner together.
