CLASS Community plays a vital role in building heroic apprentices.

Evergreen's Role

The mission of our church is to train heroic apprentices of Jesus - people who clearly embrace and embody biblical reconciliation and missional living. Evergreen's three core adult ministries include CLASS Community, worship and Sedaqah. We hope every adult will pursue heroic apprenticeship, and would expectantly and earnestly participate in all three ministries.

The Individual's Role

Spiritual transformation does not create identical apprentices, but takes on as many different expressions as there are different people. All true spiritual transformation that is empowered by the Holy Spirit has three essential elements:

  1. Real relationship with God in worship and personal experience. Actively participate in worship, not just observing service. Passionately seek change to be more like Jesus. Interact individually with God in personal prayer, Bible, and spiritual reflection.
  2. Biblical truth shaping all aspects of your life. Growth in knowledge of word. Practical application of Biblical knowledge. Setting life objectives in Bibical truth.
  3. Doing good outside of the church that glorifies God. Extend God's care and love beyond your church, friends, and family. Practice serving others with your time, money, and heart. Gently engaging in spiritual conversations, especially with outsiders.

CLASS Community's Role

CLASS Community lets people learn and interact with other believers on interesting apprentice journey topics. The purpose is to fulfill the following three CLASS Community objectives:

  1. Increase biblical knowledge by individuals. CLASS Community promotes learning from one another and sharing things God has taught us with the body of believers. Although people can and should study the bible on their own, God designed His church to live in community.
  2. Increase practical applications of biblical knowledge. CLASS Community encourages Christians to dialogue with one another in the application of biblical truths. Christians must embody God's love to the world because knowledge without any spiritual fruit is worthless to others.
  3. Promote personal spiritual transformation as defined by the Bible and encouraged by Evergreen - CLASS Community enables individuals to take an active role in their own learning, growth, and pursuit of maturing as an apprentice of Jesus, which is the mission of the church

Let us join together in community for the purpose of becoming heroic apprentices.


August 4, 2011 to August 25, 2011

Do you want to increase your understanding of the Bible, to experience God more personally, and to impact others in a truly positive way? Many other adults at Evergreen have the same desires. The CLASS ministry encourages adults with those desires through interaction, discussion and its instructors. In CLASS, people come together for a few weeks at a time and focus on a particular aspect of Christian living. What usually results from this collaboration is a deeper understanding, a greater enthusiasm, and an increased desire to be instruments of Jesus' love to others.
