Happy Hump Day! It’s a gift to stay connected with you each week. Whether life feels full or fragile right now, this space reminds you that you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’re a church that believes in real faith, real people, and real hope; there’s always room for you at the table. God Is Growing This and Here’s the ProofWe’ve been analyzing the data lately, starting with our YouTube channel, and what we found is both humbling and exciting. In just five years, our content has been viewed over 115,897 times , with more than 16,700 hours of watch time. That’s not just casual clicking. People are staying, listening, and growing.
Even more encouraging? Our returning viewers watch 12 times longer than new ones, and many stay for full messages on their TVs, like it’s church at home. While mobile viewers are the largest group, we’re learning how to better reach them with shorter, more powerful content. This growth confirms our belief that Mars Hill Anywhere isn’t just a service; it’s a spiritual lifeline. Whether in Chicago, Oak Park, Atlanta, or as far as Colombia and the Caribbean, people are tuning in and being changed. We’re just getting started. Your prayers, shares, and giving help make all of this possible. 👉 Click here to read the full YouTube Impact Report Watch for more updates as we expand this digital front door into deeper discipleship. This Week’s Message: Worship Isn’t for You & Here’s WhyIf you missed Sunday’s message or want to hear it again, you must catch it. Too often, we treat worship like it’s about our preferences. But what if worship was never about us at all? What if it’s not about the songs we like, our mood, or what we get out of it? This week’s sermon, “Worship Isn’t for You & Here’s Why,” unpacks the true purpose of worship and why it shifts everything when we make it about God, not ourselves. 🎥 Watch it here: Worship Isn’t for You – Full Message on YouTube 📱 Devotional + Overview Available Now: You can read the devotional, reflect on key takeaways, and share it easily on our mobile app or website. 🔗 View the full sermon notes + devotional Take two minutes today to let God speak to you through the Word. Then, pass it on to someone who needs it, too. It’s short enough to fit into your day and strong enough to anchor your soul.

As someone who’s chosen to be part of our community, you know we’re more than just Sunday gatherings – we’re about creating lasting impact in people’s lives. Your support does something remarkable. It helps us:
We’re not just building a church – we’re creating a home where people find hope, healing, and purpose. And here’s the exciting part: while our regular tithes and offerings will go toward securing our own physical space, this special campaign will ensure we can continue growing our ministries both online and in-person. 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!
