He was followed by Rev. Douglas Johnson who served for 9 years. Upon Rev. Johnson's resignation the Rev. J.R. Williams was elected and served faithfully for 16 years. Under his leadership the church progressed spiritually and financially. While serving, Pastor Williams was drafted to the Armed Services and Rev. W. Hines served until Pastor Williams returned.

The Evergreen Logo serves as one of the identifying marks of the church. There are 4 elements to the logo:
1) The Cross represents Christ's salvific work on Calvary
2) The Evergreen is representative of the evergreen plant known for its continued growth through all seasons. It is located above to the cross to signify that Jesus' work on the cross provides life for all we seek accomplish.
3) The "E" - the shape of the "E" denotes that life is not always linear and is often filled with curves. It is also is the first letter of the name of the church.
4) The red background signifies that we are covered by the blood Jesus shed on Calvary.
