Happy Thursday, No matter where you’re reading this from, your couch, office, or favorite lunch spot, I want you to know this: you are seen, loved, and part of something real. Mars Hill Anywhere is more than a service you stream. It is a spiritual home. A place where faith is deep, community is strong, and God’s presence shows up in unexpected places. Your presence reminds us weekly that church isn’t about a building. It is about the people who show up with open hearts. You Had to Be There…This past Sunday, Mother’s Day hit different at Mars Hill Anywhere. Whether you were in the room or online, something sacred happened. Worship reached places that words can’t describe. The prayers were honest, the atmosphere was whole, and the Word came with clarity and comfort. One moment that left us speechless was this truth: “She may be gone from your life, but she’s not gone from your story.” Pastor Clarence didn’t preach around the pain. He met it head-on. He spoke to the grieving, the celebrating, and those with complicated relationships, reminding us that God sees all of it and stays close. 📺 Missed the message? Want to hear it again?

Take two minutes today and breathe with this short devotional: 👉 When Mother’s Day Hits Different – 2-Minute Devotional It’s short enough to fit into your day and strong enough to anchor your soul. What If We’ve Been Doing Church Without Knowing Why?This Sunday, we launch a brand-new series: Church Explained. We sing, give, pray, and hear the Word every week. But have you ever paused to ask why? Why do we gather? Why do these moments matter? In this four-week series, we’ll discuss the what, why, and how of church. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Mars Hill Anywhere’s vision as a church and a movement built for this moment.
Mars Hill Anywhere is flexible, focused, and built for people who live whole lives but still want full faith. Whether in the room or on your phone, this is your church.

We’re not just building a church – we’re creating a home where people find hope, healing, and purpose.

How You Can Be Part of This JourneyWe’re aiming to raise $20,000 by summer through our Moving Forward Together initiative. Specifically, we’re hoping for:
These funds will directly enhance our Sunday worship space, cover our weekly expenses, launch new youth and children’s programs, and create consistent mid-week gatherings that strengthen our community. Be Part of the Future – Give Today!
