The Mars Hill Church network officially disbanded Thursday, January 1, 2015. Eleven of the Mars Hill Churches became independent churches and the remaining churches were dissolved.
Why is it called Mars Hill?
During the Roman period the Council of Elders continued to function, although Areopagus Hill was now referred to as ‘Mars Hill’ as this was the Roman name given to the Greek god of war. The hilltop was the place where the Apostle Paul preached his famous sermon in 51 AD.
What did Paul preach on Mars Hill?
So Paul went to the synagogue and the Agora (Greek: ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ, “in the marketplace”) on a number of occasions (‘daily’), to preach about the Resurrection of Jesus. Some Greeks then took him to a meeting at the Areopagus, the high court in Athens, to explain himself.
