Mr. Evans began his undergraduate education

years in ordained ministry as founding rector of

a pastor or as a counselor, Fr. Greg passionately desires to see people,
marriages, and
communities set free by the power of God’s transforming love and mercy.
This is not a
theoretical orientation for Greg; rather, it is the same radical reality
that forever changed
his life almost twenty years ago.
Greg has four children and resides in Northport,
Alabama. He has traveled the world,
backpacking and hitchhiking throughout Western Europe, Southern Africa,

hunting,
fishing, and reading. He also restores old homes in his spare time.
