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.
