Join a Group/Class
Every week people from the Mars Hill community gather to study the Bible, develop friendships, pursue wholeness, and share life together. Are you looking for ways to get connected in our community? Check out our groups below. From casual gatherings around common interests, to the deep spiritual wholeness work of Retelling—there’s something for every stage of your journey.
Adding Angles
The Biblical narrative is filled with God speaking to his people through unexpected sources. This opens our eyes to the reality God has no use for the line between the sacred and the secular that we use to validate or discredit things within our culture. No matter the source—all truth is God’s truth.

Every wholeness journey begins with a single step. An inch in the right direction. Yet, often times it’s hard to even do that.

Classes are offered 3 times a year.

This year we will be rotating between Holy Yoga and Revelation Fitness every other week. Holy Yoga was designed to facilitate the experiential worship and celebration of God through movement and meditation.
Revelation Fitness is for people who have decided that their body is going to serve God, themselves, and others rather than them serve their body.
BICYCLING
If you love to bike, this group is for you. Spring to fall we bike to the 11am Gatherings from the staging area on Butterworth SW + O'Brien SW. We'd love for you to ride with us.
Moms With Moms [formerly Moms INC] is a community for moms of all ages and stages to journey together and support one another through the joys and challenges of motherhood.

The Mars Hill Homeschoolers Collaborative is a relaxed place for homeschooling parents and families to meet, share, and uplift. They share schooling and activity ideas, support one another in what God has called them to do with their families, and learn new ideas and resources.
Come to our Tuesday Night Outreach!
On Tuesday evenings, we gather at 6:30 with a group of ladies to make the cards that we sell in stores, offices, shops, and at events. All the card profits go to support the Adidome Vocational Center in Ghana.
As an authentic community of Christ followers, the members of Renewing Eden desire to be active participants in God's creation narrative to bring redemption to the earth and its people. We do this by creating space in the wilderness to be still before the Creator, acting in the community as caretakers of creation, and joining together socially to share these experiences and our love of nature.
We will start by taking a look at modern slavery around the world and its root causes. And we’ll end up right here in West Michigan.
Finally a fitness program designed for everyone! Have fun with your closest friends while strengthening your body and deepening your faith. Become closer to God through structured daily devotionals. Make your health a priority and inspire others around you. Expect great fellowship and lots of fun!
