When the apostle Paul stood atop Mars Hill, he proclaimed good news to a diverse people steeped in philosophy, culture, and spirituality. Mars Hill Church seeks to continue that legacy in modern-day Seattle. Our city is a place much like first-century Athens: a marketplace of ideas, a vibrant arts community, and a metropolitan hub.
“Paul then stood up in the meeting at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) and said: ‘Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.’” —Acts 17:22–23
Our church is more than a building, an organization, a man, or a Sunday. Mars Hill Church is a group of missionaries, a family of believers, a population of diverse individuals united by a common relationship with Jesus Christ.
We strive to worship Him with every aspect of our lives, as we enjoy our city and its culture, as we laugh and eat good food with friends, and as we serve each other, our neighbors, and our Lord Jesus.

Part of Cinemagogue's vision is exposing the truth that we let film, like a video pulpit, preach through narrative and influence how we think, feel, and act. It's always fascinating when academia comes along and says what we've been exploring for some time. In BBC News, …
