PATH To Membership
Becoming a Member at Evident Church
We believe that joining a church family goes beyond just observing. It should be going all in for Christ by partnering in the gospel (Philippians 1:4-6) to fulfill the mission that God has for us in this community together. At Evident Church, our members FIGHT for unity, PRAY for the church and our community, and SERVE by joining our mission of leading people to follow Jesus.
