Happy Birthday to Us

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Pastor Phil Smidt
Mars Hill Church just turned thirteen years old. Thirteen years ago, I made the decision to take my very pregnant wife to Mars Hill, a brand new church plant a buddy of mine told me about. At the time, Jen and I were 3 years into a marriage that was flat and stale, [...]

When did Jesus change your life?
I first gave my life to Jesus when I was 12 years old. I remember being in my mom’s van and talking about Jesus. I felt convicted to give my life to Him, so I had my mom pull over to the side of the road. [...]
