MISSIONS

Our mission endeavors are dedicated to sharing the Gospel both locally and globally, with the goal of leading people to faith in Jesus Christ. Anchored in the Great Commission—a Biblical mandate from the New Testament where Jesus commands His followers to 'go and make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19-20)—our missions are multifaceted, encompassing diverse locations and activities designed to fulfill this sacred charge.

     South Africa

Each year, a team from Mars Hill undertakes the 17-hour journey to Johannesburg, South Africa, to collaborate with 'The Hidden Place.' Dedicated to serving over 90 children from some of South Africa's most disadvantaged communities, our team works alongside local leaders to organize a week-long camp. This camp is a place where children are cherished, and the truth of the Gospel is imparted. Over time, we have witnessed numerous children embracing faith in Christ for the first time, a testament to the profound impact of 'The Hidden Place.' We are profoundly grateful for its founder, Courtney Apperson, and her family for their invaluable partnership with Mars Hill.

El Salvador

Mars Hill is honored to engage in mission work in San Salvador, El Salvador. In partnership with 'Soy Templo,' under the leadership of Pastor Jimmy Mendez, we annually dispatch a team of medical professionals dedicated to addressing the pressing health concerns of the Salvadoran people. This medical outreach serves as a gateway to discussing their more profound spiritual needs. Over the years, our teams have extended their service to include construction projects, personal evangelism, pastor conferences, and encouragement visits. We are inspired by the movement of God through Pastor Jimmy's work and his family, and we eagerly anticipate continued collaboration with the vibrant community of El Salvador.

    Montana

For more than a decade, Mars Hill has journeyed annually to Shelby, Montana, to collaborate with the First Baptist Church of Shelby. Every summer, approximately 20 volunteers from our church travel to support Vacation Bible School, taking on a variety of roles to ensure its success. Additionally, our teams contribute to important construction projects, enhancing facilities for the church and the broader Shelby community. Over the years, we’ve grown fond of the people in Shelby and have established a cherished relationship with Pastor Chad Scarborough and his family.

Maine

Working with Pastor Josh Presley at Lakeside Community Church in North Waterboro, Mars Hill has cultivated a profoundly rewarding partnership. Our teams have spearheaded a range of special events, such as Ladies' Nights, Men's Wild Game Suppers, 'Southern'-style Church-wide Breakfasts, and have taken leading roles in Sunday worship services, in addition to undertaking various construction projects. Witnessing the unfolding of God's work in Maine fills us with excitement, and we eagerly anticipate future visits. With multiple opportunities available, we welcome those who wish to join us in contributing to this meaningful endeavor.
