Responding to the Pandemic 

The Evangelistic Center staff and volunteers are hard at work to keep our gatherings safe and sanitary for you and your family. We have put specific procedures in place to aid in this effort. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have worked closely with city officials and healthcare professionals to keep our environments operating safely so that we continue our mission to help our community and neighbors Live A Better Life.
