Recently, 30 pastors from all over the country visited Mars Hill Church to sit down with Campus Pastors and Branch and Department heads to see how Mars Hill structures its leadership, manages its programs, and generally leads the people God has called to participate in our church. Each church represented had at least 1500 people in attendance each weekend. As I gave tours of the P&T Broadcast Booth, a common question I received was: “How does Preaching & Theology get from Pastor Mark deciding on a book of the Bible to preach through all the way to the stage design, visuals, and theme that we see in TRIAL: 8 Witnesses from 1&2 Peter?” This question is not exclusive to these visiting pastors, but is often echoed by many of you. To see how Mars Hill works from Bible book selection to fully themed sermon series, check out the 1&2 Peter Battle Plan. In this 200+ page document you will see the advance work done by Pastor Mark, Pastor Brad House over Community Groups, and the Preaching & Theology Branch. This plan was sent to every major organizational area of Mars Hill for review and feedback. This collaborative effort resulted in a smooth launch on January 11th, with support from all campus pastors and departments and a unified Gospel message from pulpit to counseling office to home community groups.
