the rise and fall of mars hill: case studies in the modern megachurch
Thursdays, May 5-June 30, 7:00-8:00 pm via Zoom
Episcopalians and other mainline Protestants are sometimes envious of the success enjoyed by evangelical megachurches, but such success is often temporary and can present problems of its own. Using the podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill as a template, The Reverend Peter Thompson and The Reverend Zack Nyein look at the ways in which megachurches have both succeeded and failed over the past few decades. Sessions will also be informed by the new Discovery+ documentary Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed. Please listen to the first episode of the podcast before the first session. All are welcome to join via Zoom.
