Pastor Mark Stiglitz from Evergreen New Hope
August 9, 2010 - 11:11 AM
When I first came to Evergreen Community Church in January of 1993, I'd heard and understood the gospel message, but I'd never responded personally. Two months later, through a message at Evergreen, I accepted Christ as my savior. I believe the big difference was the people. For the first time in my life, I saw people that really loved me and truly lived out their faith. This helped me to see that God's love and Christ's sacrifice were not just distant concepts, but they were for me personally. In 2000, I was raised up as a pastor and now have the opportunity to help others see these truths as well.

planted a second campus in Teays Valley, WV in the fall of
2008. The church decided on a model of "one church in two
locations." While each of the five pastors concentrate their
ministry efforts on
Who would have thought that two fathers would be
involved with their college age children in starting a new
campus ministry? It was an answer to prayer. We had been
praying that the Lord would provide an opportunity to continue
laboring in the gospel
