Life at Mars Hill: Backpack edition

This September, in anticipation of Pastor Mark Driscoll’s sermon series Malachi: Living for a Legacy, Pastor Matt Wallace of Mars Hill Church Huntington Beach searched for an opportunity to serve the people in the immediate area surrounding Orangewood Academy in Garden Grove, California, the temporary home of Huntington Beach for more than a year. His sights settled on Clinton-Mendenhall Elementary, directly across the street from Orangewood Academy.

Mars Hill reached out to Clinton-Mendenhall and identified a need for school supplies in the classrooms of two first-year teachers at the school.

Thus, the Adopt-a-Classroom project was born.

The community groups at Mars Hill Huntington Beach rallied together to collect the required supplies.

Last week, Mars Hill Huntington Beach delivered 68 brand new backpacks stuffed with school supplies along with gifts and supplies for Danielle Rosas and Michael Young, the two first-year teachers.

More than 120 invitations to Mars Hill’s Christmas Eve service were included with the more than 4,400 pencils, crayons, markers, rulers, pens, and other school supplies.

Remember to pray for the families of the students who received the backpacks, particularly those who do not know Jesus.

Pray that they will see these gifts as extensions of Christ’s love.

Finally, pray that the recipients of the backpacks respond to invitations to join Mars Hill Church Huntington Beach in celebrating the greatest gift, Jesus, at the Christmas Eve service next week.

It's All About Jesus

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.

What to Expect

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.

The Mars Hill Guide Leadership at Mars Hill

We value community

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.

Cheerful givers wanted

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.
