Evergreen exists to see God’s power transform lives into thriving followers of Jesus, who then transform the world around them.
Evergreen LA is both a local church & missional movement that desires to give the world encounters with the passionate love of God.
As a local church, we create space for God’s presence to shape every aspect of our life together. Through pathways of spiritual growth and vibrant community, we help people thrive in their relationship with God, one another, and their greater purpose.
As a missional movement, we desire to raise up cultural-architects for the kingdom. We are developing a mission base for equipping and sending, as well as focusing on media (arts, music, entertainment, and social media) with an ever-expanding missions impact throughout LA and the world.
“Evergreen is a Non-Denominational, Charismatic Bible Church, and is a member of Bethel Leaders Network (Redding, CA).”
“We’re here to help you discover and live out your purpose in God’s family.” At Evergreen, our heart is to support and equip you for a fulfilling life in God’s family and on His mission. Take a moment to get to know us as you explore, and feel free to reach out with any questions. We’d love to connect with you!
Senior Pastor
Pastor Tommy’s greatest passion is seeing people from all around the world encounter Jesus and become transformed into passionate, wholehearted followers of Christ—those who live with the heart of the Father.
Originally from Greensboro, NC, Tommy’s journey of faith has led him through ministry training at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA. His heart for ministry is driven by a love for people, the nations, and helping others grow into their God-given purpose.
When he’s not leading the church, Tommy enjoys expressing his creativity through songwriting, traveling, and spending time with friends exploring LA’s many hidden gems.
Associate & Worship Pastor
Pastor Shaunda is passionate about helping people encounter the life-changing presence of God, especially through worship, which brings her the greatest joy. She has a heart for creating spaces where others can experience the authentic love of Jesus through His Church.
Originally from the Midwest, Shaunda recently transitioned into full-time ministry after a meaningful career in nursing. Her background fuels her dedication to supporting others in their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. A lifelong learner, she is currently pursuing a Master of Theology in Biblical Studies at Faith International University to deepen her understanding of God’s Word.
In her free time, Shaunda loves to spend time in nature—whether by the ocean or on a hiking trail—and treasures spending time with family and friends. She also enjoys cozy nights at home or a trip to Disneyland.
Community Pastor
Pastor Sarah’s heart is deeply rooted in the unconditional love of Jesus, and she’s passionate about helping others experience that same transformative love. She loves seeing people set free, healed emotionally, and discovering their true worth in God’s eyes. Her vision is for everyone to walk in their God-given destiny and for the body of Christ to function as a vibrant, unified community, just as God designed it.
Sarah thrives on building deep, meaningful relationships, and you’ll often find her enjoying a cup of coffee, laughing with friends, or making memories at Disneyland with her dachshund, Mia, by her side.
Her prayer is simple but powerful: to love Jesus and others very well. Sarah is excited to walk alongside you as you grow in faith and discover the incredible love God has for you!
Homegroup Pastor
Kids Pastor
We are a congregation that embraces the teachings of the Bible while also emphasizing the ongoing work and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The term “charismatic” refers to the church’s belief in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit actively working in the lives of believers today, particularly through the spiritual gifts listed in the New Testament.
We believe in the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross, which broke the power of sin, sickness, oppression, and death. Through His sacrifice, believers are set free from the bondage of the enemy and empowered to live in the fullness of God’s freedom and life.
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, consisting of all those who put their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Church exists to carry on the mission of Jesus: to proclaim the good news of God’s love, to make disciples, to baptize, and to teach others to love and obey God. The Church is called to advance the Kingdom of God, to live in community, to worship, and to serve others, as we await the return of our King.
We believe in the ever-increasing government of God, as His Kingdom advances through His people and the work of the Holy Spirit in the earth. We eagerly await the Blessed Hope—the glorious, visible return of Jesus Christ, when He will establish His eternal reign and His overcoming bride, the Church, will reign with Him in glory.
We believe in the reality of heaven and hell. There will be a bodily resurrection of all people, the saved to everlasting life in the presence of God, and the lost to eternal separation from Him in hell. This is the final judgment, where all will give an account for their lives.
We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the hope of the world, and we are called to share this hope with all nations, making disciples and advancing the Kingdom of God in every area of life. We live in the anticipation of Christ’s return, seeking to be faithful stewards of His grace, power, and mission until He comes again.
We hold to the historic teachings of Christian orthodoxy as articulated in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. We also subscribe to recent summaries of Christian doctrine as formulated in the Lausanne Covenant and the statement of faith of the Langham Partnership.
We believe in the one true God, the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that exists. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. God is eternally self-existent, revealed in the unity of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the supreme and unchanging standard of truth, revealing God’s will, His redemptive plan for humanity, and the way to eternal life through Jesus Christ.
We believe that humankind was created in the image of God, designed to know, love, and enjoy Him forever. However, through willful disobedience, humanity fell into sin, resulting in spiritual death and separation from God. This rebellion brought suffering, sickness, and death into the world, and all of creation now bears the consequences of sin.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became fully human through His birth to the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit. He is the Anointed One, sent by God to reveal His Kingdom and to accomplish salvation for humanity. Jesus lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, rose again on the third day, and ascended to heaven. He now reigns at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for His people, and will return in glory to establish His eternal kingdom.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received by faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, and not by works, so that no one may boast. By repenting of our sin, believing in Jesus, and receiving Him as Lord and Savior, we are restored to fellowship with God. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us, making us new creations and bringing us into the family of God.
We believe in the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells and empowers believers to live a holy life and to fulfill God’s purposes on earth. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live according to God’s will, strengthens us for service, and equips us for the supernatural ministry of the Gospel. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, as described in Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, empowering believers to be effective witnesses of Christ.
Langham Partnership is committed to the fundamental truths of historic biblical Christianity, in accordance with which we affirm:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
