As a church, our vision is to be a Jesus people for the sake of the world. Mars Hill leadership discerned a call to extend this vision into the city of Grand Rapids with a hope that we would be a church that is in proximity to and mutually formed by local communities that faithfully served from afar. We believe that God wants to do more in our city, and we're excited to be one of many church communities joining together to bear witness to the Kingdom’s work.
We can't wait to welcome you to something we have been dreaming about for years. We gather to connect with other Jesus People For The Sake Of The World in a relaxed environment as we sing, pray, and learn more about our great God.

Mars Hill Students is a community for 6th-12th grade students to explore who God has made them to be and their role in God's grand story. It is a place for students to journey together as they seek to be a Jesus people for the sake of the world— asking big questions, hearing and telling stories of God's ongoing involvement in our world, and engaging in practices to model the way of Jesus in our lives.
We meet every-other week after the 4pm Gathering in the homes of community members. Email Kyle at klake@marshill.org for more details or to be added to our mailing list.
