MARRIAGE
Marriage Enrichment Weekend
This annual marriage conference gives couples the chance to rekindle their love, grow closer to God and learn principles for a more fulfilling marriage. The weekend incorporates a variety of learning formats — large group meetings, seminars, couples’ projects and small group interaction. The next Marriage Enrichment Weekend is being planned for February 2010.
SINGLE
Mid-Winter Singles Conference
This conference happens on the Evergreen-Bloomington campus every February and focuses on issues that are pertinent to singles. During the winter of 2009, we focused on “God @ Work.” This was a unique conference that had one simple goal – to help every single who came to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ on the job, in their passions, and in their free time. Our desire at these mid-winter singles conferences is that God would GROW each participant into a more fully-devoted Christian – a man or woman after God’s heart!
MEN
Dad’s Workshop
Even with all the programs that churches across America are offering young people today, the ugly truth is we are failing miserably in our attempt to pass on our faith. George Barna’s recent research revealed that eight out of ten high school students growing up in the church are turning their back on Jesus within a few short years after graduation. At Evergreen, we believe that the best way to keep our young people from reflecting this statistic is to focus on the head of the home, Dad, and build into him spiritually. On the second Saturday of every month from September through May, Evergreen men gather from 7:00 am - 9:00 am for hard-hitting teaching and equipping that gives them the tools to be the dad they are called to be. Join us in the battle for our families and link up with some men who can help you grow. Begins Saturday, September 12, 7:00-9:00 AM, and continues the second Saturday of each month. Held in Room 127 (enter through door H).
WOMEN
Women's Bible Studies
The Women of Worth (WOW) Ministry sponsors a variety of in-depth Bible studies by Beth Moore and Kay Arthur. Each week women assemble to view a video and discuss life application, with personal Bible study involving 30- 45 minutes of daily 'homework.' These studies guide believers to love and live on God's word and cultivate relationships through discussion groups. Check the church calendar or church news for upcoming studies.
TITUS 2 MOMS @ EVERGREEN
Would you like to go on a journey full of fellowship and teaching with other mothers of young children? We would be honored to have you join us. Childcare will be provided. Registration is $10. For more information contact Terri Schelkoph at 952.882.5282 or matilda4jc@gmail.com . We meet the second Monday of each month through May.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership Team Meeting (LTM)
LTM’s are for Growth Leaders, Ministry Leaders and apprentices. This is a bi-monthly leadership gathering designed to keep leaders on the front-edge of Evergreen and to equip leaders on special leadership topics. There will be a fresh emphasis on vision-casting and critical communication. LTM’s are typically held on Thursdays from 7:15 until 9:00 p.m. Check the church calendar or church news for upcoming meetings.
Great Commission Association's Northlands Regional Meeting
GCA Northlands Regional Meetings are for Growth Group leaders, ministry leaders and apprentices. Each meeting contains a combination of prayer, interaction and teaching designed to instruct on topics that are not usually tackled in the regular life of the church. Check the church calendar or church news for upcoming meetings.
Great Commission Leadership Institute (GCLI)
This is a special mentoring group led by an Evergreen pastor. It is an intensive 2 ½ year commitment that covers critical theology and leadership issues for aspiring men. You can only attend if you are personally invited by a pastor. GCLI is a requirement for any man to be a pastor.
TWO ANNUAL CONFERENCES
UNITE
UNITE is an annual rally of all Evergreen locations. Held at Bethel University at mid-summer, it is an encouraging weekend of vision-casting, worship, and fellowship. All weekend services are cancelled that weekend for this vital event.
Faithwalkers
Faithwalkers is an annual conference sponsored by Great Commission Churches. This year's conference is held from Dec. 27-30 in two locations: Omaha, NE and Asheville, NC. It is a rallying conference for everyone: young people, couples, parents, and families, to help them continue in GCC’s tradition of "New Testament Christianity in Action Today."
