Mars Hill Church

Mars Hill Church was a Christian megachurch founded in 1996 in Seattle, known for its contemporary worship style and expository preaching by Pastor Mark Driscoll. It grew rapidly, establishing multiple campuses and emphasizing cultural engagement and biblical teaching. However, the church faced controversy over leadership issues, theological disputes, and allegations of misconduct. In 2014, the church disbanded under Driscoll’s departure, with parts of its community transitioning to different church networks. Overall, Mars Hill was influential in modern evangelical Christianity, especially among young adults, but also serves as a case study in church leadership and accountability.
