Volunteer
If you’ve been served by Mars Hill, whether it be through greeters on Sundays, teachers in you child’s Mars Hill Kids classroom, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea before service, clean bathrooms stocked with toiletries, security who keep our kids and worship environment safe, musicians on stage leading us in worship, or any number of other ways—chances are you’ve been served by a faithful volunteer giving up time and talent to serve Jesus by serving you.
At Mars Hill, we intentionally keep our budget and staff small and rely on a huge community of volunteers who love Jesus and love to serve his church.
If you consider Mars Hill your church, we ask you to serve as a volunteer. By doing so, you’re an essential part of helping others meet Jesus. And if you’re a member, you’ve committed to serve generously as part of your membership covenant.
There are a number of opportunities to serve at all of our Mars Hill churches. To find out how you can serve, contact your local Mars Hill church.

Internships
Feel called to serve the church? Mars Hill Internships are for you.
A Mars Hill Internship is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves ministry opportunity where you will be trained and discipled by experienced ministry leaders. This is more than just a year of training—it’s an invitation to grow in your knowledge of God, increase your dependence on the Holy Spirit, and further the mission of Jesus.
Training & Equipping
You'll receive quality training in theology by world-class teachers and pastors. But more than head knowledge, you'll also get hands-on experience in various aspects of ministry, serving alongside fellow interns and experienced leaders to help advance God's kingdom.
Discipleship & Growth
You'll have opportunities to engage with God personally and profoundly through regular discipleship and personalized growth plans. This is not for the faint of heart. You will be challenged in your faith and tested in your calling.
Structure & Flexibility
You have room to grow. You'll thrive in an atmosphere that provides the structure needed for discipleship and the flexibility needed to change, be creative, and discover who God has designed you to be.

Lead Pastor Residency
Do you feel called to be a lead pastor at a Mars Hill or Acts 29 church? Do you want to be assessed, trained, and sent? The Lead Pastor Residency Program gives you the necessary knowledge and skills to be a Mars Hill or Acts 29 lead pastor. The program tests calling, character, and competency while also providing you with growth plans and development opportunities to ensure you're prepared for long-term pastoral leadership.
This is a highly selective program that involves six months of training in Seattle, followed by four months of training at the new church plant. It is a paid position focused on aligning the right men with the right opportunities.
Find out more about the process by reading through our Residency Manual and looking through the 2012 Residential Calendar. Also, be sure to watch this video from Pastor Mark that captures our vision behind it.
