Our Church's History
Evergreen United Methodist Church had its origins in Wesley Chapel Church, which was built in 1828 on Cub Creek Road in Appomattox County. Wesley Chapel has been donated to the Appomattox Historical Society and now stands as an historical landmark in Clover Hill Village near Appomattox Court House National Park.
​
The main body of our present building was constructed in 1904, and was part of the Appomattox Circuit with its first pastor, H. W. Dunkley. Evergreen Church was assigned to the Pamplin Charge around 1916 with six other churches. From 1922 until 2019, we were joined in ministry with Centenary, Piney Ridge, and Pamplin United Methodist Churches. We are currently part of the New Pamplin Charge with Piney Ridge UMC.
​
We are a Christ-centered, loving congregation with a giving heart! The clergy and lay members of Evergreen United Methodist Church seek God's guidance and work in partnership to nurture the spiritual growth of its membership and to encourage outreach in many forms. We provide close-knit, intimate experiences characteristic of a small-membership church, as well as a strong sense of social responsibility.
​
Our leaders are constantly evaluating the needs of our church family and community, and developing new types of ministries to share the love of Jesus Christ in any way that God calls us.
​
Evergreen UMC has a long tradition of reaching out in Jesus' name to help others in need, and is involved in numerous local and global missions.
