Mars Hill has the most beautiful sanctuary I have ever seen! Worship there is full of wonderful music and the pastor delivers meaningful sermons. The bulletin shows a lot of activities. It's a wonderful church.

Nestled next to Tennessee Wesleyan University, this 200+ year old church is more than that. They are a family of members and friends of the church that create a loving, caring and warm environment in which to learn, seek comfort, make friends, come back home to. You are in control of how much, and when you choose to be part of this lovely place. Take a chance to enrich your life, your spiritual being by coming to a service offered once a week, Sunday @ 10:45am.
