February 2026 Evergreen Network Update

SO FAR

Since 1961, 76 new churches have been established throughout the Pacific Northwest—largely because of the generosity of partners and friends like you. It’s incredible what God can accomplish through the collaborative efforts of His faithful people.

8 of those churches have launched in just the last three years. Each one is actively serving its community, sharing the gospel of Jesus, connecting the unconnected, discipling new believers, and witnessing genuine life change. Here’s another encouraging reality: those 8 new churches are now financially partnering with you to help establish the next generation of churches. Because generosity truly breeds generosity!

If we continue working together, we just might reach our goal of 50 new churches by 2034. Imagine what God might do over the next decade through this kind of shared vision and collaborative effort!

NEW PROJECTS ON DECK

Here is a sneak-peak at the newest projects we have coming up in this next season. You will hear more about them as the year progresses— or better yet, head over to our website and read more about them.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. PROJECT

Danny and Alison have spent the past several years planting, revitalizing, and leading churches across British Columbia. Now sensing a clear call to Kamloops, B.C.—a diverse and growing city filled with families, students, immigrants, and many who remain disconnected from a thriving church community—they are preparing to plant a new church that helps people meet Jesus and follow Him in everyday life. They are building a core team and equipping leaders in anticipation of a Fall 2026 launch.

CORVALLIS, OR PROJECT

Aaron and Tatum have spent the past six years leading a thriving campus ministry at Missouri State University and now feel called to reach the next generation in Corvallis, Oregon—a college town of 60,000 and home to 25,000 students at Oregon State University, where fewer than 5% are connected to a gospel-centered church. With a vision for a multi-generational church that can impact both campus and city, the Nelsons and their team will launch a Salt Co. ministry at OSU in Fall 2026, followed by weekly public church gatherings beginning in January 2027.

S SALEM, OR PROJECT

Chris and Kellie have served in ministry together for over a decade, investing in youth, young adults, and church communities while also walking with individuals through healing as certified biblical counselors. After years of deep roots in Salem, Oregon, they sensed a new call to plant a church in South Salem focused on reaching the overlooked and unchurched. With a vision for a Spirit-led community where people can belong before they believe, wrestle with real questions, and experience the transforming love of Jesus, The Salem Project is preparing to launch in Fall 2026.

E PORTLAND, OR PROJECT

After eight years of ministry in Southern California, Ryan and Stacie sensed a clear call to plant a new church in Stacie's home state of Oregon. In the summer of 2025, they moved their young family to East Portland and immersed themselves in the city to build relationships. With a committed core team planning to join them in 2026, to establish a gospel-centered church where people can meet Jesus, experience transformation, and live with abundant joy. Their vision is a vibrant, loving community marked by deep discipleship and compassionate care for the marginalized, with plans to launch in early 2027.

TREASURE VALLEY, ID PROJECT

We are in the early stages with this church planting couple and it is too early to announce their names.

More information to come as we get further into the process with them.

Continued prayer for the Treasure Valley is appreciated.
