More changes are coming for megachurch Mars Hill, just two weeks after Pastor Mark Driscoll resigned.
The Seattle-based church has announced it is disbanding its multi-site churches.
Board members at Mars Hill decided it would be best for their existing churches to become “autonomous self-governed entities.”
Multi-site churches have grown in popularity over the years. They are connected to a centralized church through video-led teachings distributed to multiple locations.
Pastor Dave Bruskas posted the decision on the Mars Hill website.
He said, “Mars Hill Church has never been about a building or even an organization. Mars Hill is a people on mission with Jesus and that singular focus continues as these newly independent churches are launched. It’s still all about Jesus!”
Mars Hill will sell its existing church properties unless the newly independent churches get approval to take over the loans.
Bruskas said the goal is to complete this process by January 1, 2015.
He goes on to say the mission of Mars Hill has always been about making disciples and planting churches and that will not change.
