The end of March is going to be a time of celebration for Evident Grace, and we inviteyou, your family, and all guests to be a part of it. In a series of services and sermons entitled “Jesus Finds Us”, we are celebrating the last week of Jesus’ life leading up to Easter Sunday. We have 4 services in our “Jesus Finds Us” celebration: March 20th Palm Sunday – 10:30am March 24th Maundy Thursday – 6pm March 25th Tenebrae Good…
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the Christmas season is in full swing. And while we decorate our homes and purchase presents, we always hear the exhortations from “The Charlie Brown Christmas” reminding us of the true meaning of the day. So many of us love Linus’ speech telling us that it isn’t the tree that matters. With so many things to distract us, we always need to take a moment to remind ourselves the importance of the season. That…
Sunday, February 1st, Evident Grace is launching a new sermon series entitled, Definition, a study of the Gospel of John. Why call the study Definition? Well, so many look at Jesus as an example of how to live, and while Jesus is that, He is so much more.

We like to say things like, “Well, I know God can do anything, but I doubt anything is going to happen.” Or we will say,…
Excitedly, on Sunday, September 7th, Evident Grace Fellowship is launching its new sermon series, Journey to Worship – A Study of Ezra. Why would a young church, or any church for that matter, endeavor to study, what for some might be, an obscure Old Testament book? There are several reasons. Ezra is a book about a community returning to their homeland to reestablish the worship of God after a period of time where worship had been forbidden. Those that remained…
As Evident Grace moves into the second half of summer 2014, we are launching a 6-week sermon series entitled “Life Together” on July 27th. “Life Together” will give a clear picture of what it looks like for us to live out our 3 distinctives: Community, Worship, and Service. Our series is going to give us the opportunity to explore these “Life Together” distinctives in two different ways. We are going to explore Community, Worship, and Service by celebrating. As we…
