The City

By Zack Hubert, Pastor of Technology

The City — real, not virtual community, for Jesus’ fame

Mars Hill Technology serves the gospel by extending the reach of the proclaimed Word, and by deepening the Mars Hill communities that meet throughout our city. As a ministry of the church, we are incredibly concerned about the health of community—real community, not some online surrogate. Therefore, we developed a new website called The City.

For some, The City is a very natural way to stay connected with the communities they are already a part of (a community group, service group, campus, etc.). For others, it’s a bit of a stretch to learn and use. For those in the latter camp, there are many ways to obtain assistance; watch any of the videos within The City, ask for help from your community group leader, service team lead, or a leader at your home campus.

The City is a website—a social networking site (people connecting to people). We’ve built and designed it from the ground up to foster community within Mars Hill Church. We passed every major design decision through a scriptural filter. In fact, The City is a product of a prayer retreat during which I spent time in Matthew 5 following the Nehemiah series. On The City, the various communities of Mars Hill share life together throughout the week; when they gather in person, the community is enriched. Specifically, The City provides a venue for prayer, event planning, discussions, training, sharing of needs, and other such relations aspects of community.
