Mars Hill Baptist Church Embraces Digital Fellowship with Weekly Online Services


Did you know that Mars Hill Baptist Church extends its spiritual embrace beyond the physical sanctuary? We recognize the changing dynamics of worship in our connected world, and we’re excited to offer weekly online services for those who cannot join us in person.


A New Dimension of Church Community – Virtually


While we acknowledge the irreplaceable atmosphere of in-person worship, our online campus is forging its own path in capturing the essence of community and connection. It's not just about replicating the in-person experience; it's about reimagining how we can worship together, wherever we are.


More Than Just Live Streaming


Live streaming our services is just the beginning. We’re dedicated to taking the online worship experience a step further. Our goal is to cultivate an interactive virtual environment that mirrors the fellowship and warmth of our physical church gatherings.


Coming Soon...


Introducing Pre-Service Social Sessions


In line with our innovative approach, we envision pre-service social sessions that allow you to engage in meaningful conversations and form bonds with fellow online attendees—just as you would in the church foyer before a service. These sessions will be an opportunity to share, connect, and prepare our hearts for worship together.


We’re excited about this digital evolution and invite you to be a part of our growing online Mars Hill Baptist Church community. Join us for our next online service and discover a new way to engage with faith and fellowship.
