The Grove | Evergreen Church

Evergreen’s Senior Pastor, Michael Gabbert, thought he had it all figured out when God called him to give up his life for Him. Growing up in the church since birth, Michael learned God had much more to show him after he met his wife, Diane. Together, their testimony is full of joy, pain, loss, abundance, illness, love, and even miracles. From the classroom to the pulpit, listen with us as we unpack a story of how God restored the bride of Christ, and supernaturally birthed the local church’s identity we now know as Evergreen.

How is life supposed to go when God makes it clear that he has a plan and purpose for your life? Does God only want happiness and ease for us? Jimmie Don Gibson wasn’t expected to live past the first day, but God had others plans. What happened from there took one turn after another, yet God demonstrated his love for Jimmie Don faithfully every step of the way.

What do you do when the hardship seems to come again and again and again with no end in sight? Listen in as Randy shares his journey with us.
