"As it is written, ‘Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.’"–2 Corinthians 8:15
All humans bear the image of God, their Creator. All Christians stand before God equally loved, equally cared for, equally forgiven. Therefore, all Christians should be eager to extend help to those who are struggling.
In this way, the church reflects God’s economy that does not favor rich or poor, haves or have-nots, lenders or borrowers, but "Christ is all" (Col. 3:11).
Pastor Mark explains what this kind of generosity looked like in his family growing up:
When times are hard, do you look to those who have more than you and covet their position, or do you look to those who are struggling to find ways you can be generous and demonstrate God’s love to others?

Jesus was a man who claimed to be God. Think on that for a minute. If that were true, how would it change the way you thought, felt, and lived this life?
At Mars Hill, we believe that Jesus is God. We take him at his word. Because of this, everything we do is all about Jesus. We invite you to learn more about this man who is God and how you can find forgiveness and new life in him.
Visiting a church for the first time can be nerve-racking. But having an idea of what to expect can help. There are three main parts to every Sunday service: preaching, worship, and kids. To learn more about each of these, click the links below.
Church is more than a service. It’s people living life together and helping one another throughout our cities to serve our cities. Each week, thousands of people at Mars Hill meet in hundreds of small communities to learn about God, pray, eat, laugh, and live. We call these Community Groups—and they’re the heart of our church.
We provide a number of resources to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. You’ll find videos on a number of topics and from various conferences. The Mars Hill Blog connects you to life around the church and personal growth. And Resurgence is a blog dedicated to helping you grow as a leader at home, work, and church.
Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.
