Mars Hill has received much attention for the live SMS Q&A that’s become a part of our Sunday routine and a fixture at our conferences and seminars. Both local (Seattle Metropolitan) and national (Associated Press) media have written stories about this experiment, just one of the many ways we’re trying to live up to our distinction as one of America’s most innovative churches (view list).

Here’s a recent clip about Mars Hill Church’s live texting, from KOMO News in Seattle:

This fall, Pastor Mark will preach what’s shaping up to be a landmark series in the history of Mars Hill Church. It will feature live texting across six campuses and twenty services (currently, SMS Q&A is used principally at Mars Hill Ballard’s night service). Look for more details later this summer.
