Colin Welch - Paris, France In 1905 the French government passed a law called La Laïcité. This was the beginning of the official separation of church and state. Though it was first presented as a “neutral position” on religion, it has resulted in an anti-religious mindset, growing to the point that part of the French identity is to be non-religious. Currently, France is ranked the 7th most atheistic country in the world—only 1.2% claim to be Evangelical Christians. Colin is serving in Paris, France with EFCA ReachGlobal in arts ministry, focusing on using art as a bridge to share the Gospel through relationships with artists. His vision is to see the healing of the disconnect between Christ and culture through the lives and work of artists. Website Donate

"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me...'" Matthew 19:14 Large Groups Mars Hill Kids has three large group environments; preschool, elementary (K-3) and Club 45 (4-5). Each week, large group leaders teach biblical truths through music, Bible teaching and creative media. We use a mix of live teaching and dynamic video elements to teach the Bible with age appropriate concepts that the children can apply. Small Groups Every Sunday, your child will attend the same small group classroom. This is a great way for the children to establish friendships and build relationships. Here, the topic for the week is introduced through age-appropriate activities. After the Large Group experience, they return to the classroom and are taught how to apply the weekly lesson to their lives. Curriculum Our mission is to partner with you as you bring up your children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians. 6:4). The Gospel Project consists of weekly lessons that help all ages dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. Read about the core values of The Gospel Project here.

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.

Athletes in Action - Austria Wolfgang Sutter For more than 25 years, Wolfgang Sutter has worked in his native Austria with Athletes in Action, a sports ministry and offshoot of CRU. Their focus is on camps for teenagers and young adults which have seen the fruit of changed lives. Some of the kids who once came to these camps are now dedicated Christians and staff members of AIA Austria. During the COVID-19 pandemic, AIA Austria was able to successfuly launch and maintain a robust online ministry. Every year, more and more Austrians are leaving the Catholic church, only to become non-religious. AIA Austria aims to reach that population for Jesus Christ and help disciple them into meaningful relationships with Him. Donate Website Contact
