STUDENT COMMITTEE HELPS PROVIDE SPIRITUAL FOCUS

The 9-12 Student Spirituality Committee has been functional for six years and meets two to three times a semester, usually on Wednesday evenings after mid-week classes at local congregations. The Committee is responsible for posting daily thoughts for the day throughout the building. The Committee also plans high school and middle school Life Days, suggesting themes for 9-12 chapels, organizing middle school chapel one day each week and helping plan combined K-12 chapels twice a year. The Committee is sponsored by Dr. Kenny Barfield.

BIBLE FACULTY ALSO SERVE AS AUTHORS

Books written by the Bible faculty include: Fishers of Teens (Nashville: 21st Century) by Mr. Kerry Williams and Why the Bible Is Number One (Grand Rapids: Baker Books) and The Prophet Motive (Nashville: Gospel Advocate) by Dr. Kenny Barfield.

MISSION EMPHASIS

Members of the Mars Hill 'Family' are active in numerous mission efforts throughout the world. Board member, Mr. Marlon Rutherford and his family have taken numerous trips to Russia. MH students and faculty have traveled to the Ukraine, Germany, Christmas Island, Haiti, Ghana, Peru and to numerous sites in the United States to assist in local campaigns, Vacation Bible Schools and other outreach efforts. MHBS alumni currently work in Australia, Tanzania, Scotland and Brazil.

DAILY BIBLE CLASSES PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCUSS MORAL ISSUES, WORLD EVENTS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS

Faculty members take time during daily Bible classes to allow students to ask questions and discuss issues of concern. Modern problems and how to deal with the increasing stress and pressures of life often consume the period. MHBS believes that the mere knowledge of Scripture is of little value unless the principles of right living are allowed to impact the way people live and react with one another.
