Welcome to LiveDifferentChurch.org, the website of Evergreen Community Church of Christ! We are located in beautiful Evergreen, Colorado. If you are local, we'd love for you to visit us sometime. Our website will help you learn more about us. If you are visiting us from some far point of cyberspace, feel free to look around at the resources we've included here. Ours is a unique fellowship that often defies people's expectations, and we kind of like it that way. We are followers of Jesus, and we seek to live out what he taught in simple practical ways. It is an imperfect journey, because we are imperfect people and we don't have all the answers. But whatever we have learned along the way, we are happy to share with other travelers.
If you are drawn to a different life, as we are, you might find this site a good place to explore. We are a people committed to studying and following the teachings of Jesus. At a basic level, believing that Jesus is the Son of God makes Christians different from the rest of humanity, but this difference exists only intellectually. The objective of our faith is to see people transformed by God's Spirit, such that we not only believe something different, but we actually live that difference out in daily life. We understand Jesus to be much more than an inspiring teacher or even a prophet. His ministry on this earth was nothing less than revolutionary. He didn't just teach people about love, he challenged us to love even our enemies. He called us to live a radically different kind of life, and he lived what He asks of us. He taught that this different life was actually what God had in mind when we were created. This is the life we aspire to, not the shallow, selfish sort of Christianity that has given organized religion a bad name, but a deep and profound Christianity rooted in a relationship of love and devotion to our revolutionary teacher, Jesus Christ. Forget what you know, or think you know, about Christians, churches, or religion, and take a fresh look at what Jesus teaches. We believe you will find His message just as fresh, exciting, life-giving, and radical today as it was 2000 years ago when He walked this earth. So come on in! Take a look around! Consider, for yourself, this different life! |
