WELCOME Join Us For Worship This Sunday! Mars Hill Community Church is an independent non-denominational Bible church. We are resolutely focused on investing our lives in sharing Jesus Christ and growing His followers. We invite you to come engage in life-giving community, transformational Bible study, and kingdom focused ministry. Our weekly services last about 75 minutes. We believe the Bible is God's word to us and therefore we highly value being Biblically centered across our ministries. Our sermons will be a mix of expository and topical teaching but always founded on God's inerrant Word. We endeavor to sing songs that direct our minds to biblical truth in a distinctly contemporary style, led by our worship team. Our dress is casual and we hope you will plan to hang around after the service for fellowship. NEXT STEPS 01 Contact Form Fill out this contact form so we can be expecting your arrival on Sunday!

"But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children" Titus 2:1-4 Vintage is our Seniors Ministry that meets weekly on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall for Bible Study.

ABOUT US WHAT WE BELIEVE The following are the core beliefs of Mars Hill Community Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines. Meet Our Team Our Core Values What we believe DOCTRINE 1. GOD God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2 2. MANKIND AND THE FALL Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23 3. ETERNITY Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence. Matthew 25:31-46; John 2:25, 3:16, 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; 1 John 5:11-12; Revelation 20:15 4. JESUS CHRIST Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14-15 5. SALVATION Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works – only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. John 1:12, 14:6, Romans 5:1, 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 6. ETERNAL SECURITY Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10 & 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5 7. THE HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under his control daily. John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:1 8. THE BIBLE The Bible is God’s word to all men. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error. Psalm 12:6, 119:105 & 160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21 9. BAPTISM Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is your public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Baptism does not save you, but shows the world that you have already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ. Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Colossians 2:12 10. COMMUNION Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember his sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and wine or juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation. Rather, it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross. Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 11. MARRIAGE & SEXUALITY Please see attached document of The Nashville Statement, which details our beliefs and includes supporting Scripture.

2025 Gift Offering December 1, 2025 Dear Mars Hill Family: One of Mars Hill Community Church’s best traditions is to give/receive a special offering at Christmas. We call it the “Gift Offering.” In light of God’s gift to us in His Son, Jesus, we want to offer a special year end gift to His work on earth through our church. Every year we designate a specific use for the Gift Offering. Last year we designated it to help cover the full cost of the new Lodge. By God’s grace, we will be able to move into it very soon with it fully paid for. This year we want the Gift Offering to be used to cover any potential budget short-falls we may experience at year’s end and then begin to re-plenish our “designated fund” which can and will be available for anticipated land and facility expansion needs. Our hope and desire for this special year-end offering is that it will be a prayerful and worshipful experience for every individual and family. To that end, the procedures for the gift offering are simple: Each individual and/or family should treat this as a spiritual and personal exercise of worship—praying, thanking God for the greatest gift—Jesus—and asking God to use our financial gifts to bring many people to know Him. Ask God how much He wants you to give for this special gift to His work. When you’re ready, before or after any service (December 7th, 14th, 21st, or 24th) come in a spirit of prayer together to the manger set up on the stage and put your gift offering in. We have special Gift Offering envelopes available for your use should you wish to use them. Investing our lives in sharing Jesus Christ and growing His followers, Tom Gray Senior Pastor Give Now All gifts must be received or post-marked by December 31, 2025 to count for 2025 contributions.
