What is a Community Group?

Gathering weekly for fellowship and accountability, study and prayer, good times and tears, Mars Hill community groups are an essential expression of our church’s mission.

At the heart of the community groups ministry is the desire to see a community of believers who worship Jesus, love one another, and embody the mission of Mars Hill to make disciples. God has called us to a continuous lifestyle of worship and relationship with Himself, which is cultivated and nurtured within the body of Christ. The Church is a people. It is a gift of God. At Mars Hill, community groups are the place where discipleship and care takes place. It is where we encourage one another to be worshipers of our Lord. It is where the body becomes the body, loving, caring and challenging one another. As well, it is within community that we engage culture and learn to love and serve our city. We were created to worship Jesus in community in the Image of our Creator, who Himself exists in community. It is our desire to see every member of Mars Hill loved, cared for, and challenged within a thriving community.

The latest information about Mars Hill Church community groups is available here and on The City, our online community network. You can also find additional training resources in the Mars Hill Media Library or check out the book recommendations page.
