Talk:Mars Hill Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Largest church?

This page originally said Mars Hill was "one of the largest churches" in the Seattle area, and I changed it to say the largest, and then it was changed to say second largest with Overlake being the largest. I remember about a year ago when Mars Hill became officially larger than Overlake, which is why I made the change, so I'm wondering whether or not the Overlake change was factual. Can we have some numbers? Or, we can just leave it as it is. I'm not trying to get into church wars of who's the biggest; just trying to make an informative article.

I'd actually like to see numbers that say it is the largest OR second largest. I'll add a citation needed tag. Isoxyl 11:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, given that is says "one of the largest" now, I'll leave it at that. But should a change be made to revert to largest, second largest, a {{citation needed}} tag will be necessary, unless someone is providing a reference.

Matt Driscoll? Squidge37 17:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - Mark. I was just being silly though. :P Isoxyl 18:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Senior pastor / teaching pastor

The page originally said "teaching pastor" and it was changed to "senior pastor". I reverted the change because Mars Hill's 15 pastors are all on the same level in terms of authority, and Mark Driscoll does not hold any senior authority over the rest of the elders. Mars Hill has stated that Jesus is the senior pastor. Squidge37 15:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "three churches"

I removed an addition that said Mars Hill operates three churches in the Seattle area. This isn't entirely true because Mars Hill is one church that meets in three locations. Also, this was already mentioned earlier in the beginning of the article, so it was somewhat redundant
