October Town Hall Events

While the media often feeds intellectual barriers to the Gospel by portraying faith and science as warring opposites, an examination of modern scientific literature actually reveals more evidence supporting the Bible than ever before in history. Mars Hill Church’s Downtown Seattle Campus is therefore excited to host a two-part Town Hall series this Fall entitled: “Creation, Design, DNA, and the Universe: Clearly Perceiving God’s Eternal Power and Divine Nature with Science” We have invited two distinguished speakers (Astrophysicist Hugh Ross and a Philosopher of Science Steven Meyer) who love Jesus and approach this subject from different angles to come talk about recent books they have written. DATES & SPEAKERS: Wednesday, October 28th, 7:00 PM: Dr. Steven Meyer, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design LOCATION: Mars Hill Church Downtown Seattle Campus – 2333 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98121 This is an excellent opportunity to invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to hear about how modern science complements, not disproves, the Gospel.

Fall Coat Drive

Downtown’s second annual Christmas Coat Lunch is right around the corner. On 12/12 we will be inviting the homeless community of Belltown into our building to feed them a lunch and give them a coat, a hat, and some socks. In an effort to tangibly meet the needs of the city in this way we are starting our Fall Coat Drive which will be taking place through 11/29. Please drop any coats or socks off at the donation box in the lobby.
