Business Ministry | Creative for Jesus

Come network with other Mars Hill business people and hear from a couple top creative guys tell their unique stories which can relate to any field of business. We’ll also talk through a few key questions including: How has your faith been impacted through your work this last year? What are the keys to success enabling you to keep the lights on during this tough market? How does your Biblical leadership approach in the creative industry apply in other leadership and business settings? This event will take place on Wed. Aug. 5th from 5:30-7PM at the Downtown campus. The cost will be $15 and will include appetizers and drinks. Click here for more information and to register.

Neighborhood Events

Whether you are new or seasoned Mars Hill attendee, plan to regularly stop in and say hello

The Community Groups of Mars Hill Church Downtown cordially invite you to regularly attend a weekly Neighborhood Happy Hour near you!

Click here for more information, meeting times, locations, and directions.

Neighborhood Happy Hours are:

• …now the primary location of plugging into Community at Mars Hill Church Downtown Seattle, second only to the Wednesday Gateway event when it’s running.
• …a great opportunity for you to actually invite your friends and neighbors
• …the place to meet and catch up with Community Group leaders and folks who live in your neighborhood.
• …the way to grow your community groups a bit more organically. You should practice making connections with new people and invite them to your group and/or group events.
• …the place to bring others from your Community Group (if you attend one) so they can actually meet (perhaps for the first time) those who you are on mission with for Jesus in your neighborhood!

Facility Team Summer Launch!

This summer we are re-launching the facility ministry with a new team! If you love the downtown campus and have yet to get involved, this is the perfect opportunity. The Facility team is responsible for maintaining a clean and non-distracting environment for people to experience Jesus. As part of the team, you would participate in this mission by serving a couple times a month during a Sunday service, helping keep trashes empty, things tidy, and the sidewalks safe. And while you’re at it, you’ll make great friends! The summer launch will start with a two day trip to a Bremerton lake-house to hang out, relax, and get to know one another. For more information, email joelf@marshillchurch.org.

Full-time Volunteer Positions

MH Downtown has a huge vision for the future. We run on a lean staff and have a huge task before us. We are currently looking for the right people that are interested in applying for full-time volunteer positions. This is an amazing opportunity to experience urban ministry and work on the front lines of the exciting things God is doing in our city. You will grow, learn, and contribute as you join the Mars Hill Downtown team and possibly participate in the inaugural year of the City Center Mission Training (more information to come). Additionally God has opened up an amazing opportunity for us to provide male candidates with highly subsidized housing in the downtown area. For more information, email downtown@marshillchurch.
