A roomful of people singing in a big circle inside an old mall.
Musicatmars is the music of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. When we come together as a church each Sunday, we sing, pray, meditate, do readings. . .anything that helps us connect with our Creator and offer our lives to His dream for the planet. These are holy experiences. Some weeks are completely focused on the Almighty God and His eternal power, while other weeks help us look into our own souls. Some experiences are built around a text from scripture that we meditate on and read together, while others respond to a story of something God is currently doing in our community. Some times we are somber and hushed, while other times the amps get turned up to eleven. There are so many different sides to God, and so many different kinds of people, and we are interested in exploring as many ways to honestly move toward Him as possible.
Mars Hill Bible Church (mhbcmi.org) is a community of people, planted by the teaching of Rob Bell (nooma.com) in 1999, committed to honestly studying the text and actively living out our love for God and people.
I have Worship in Every Direction and I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I usually fall asleep to it each night on my iPod as well. I absolutely love the way you worship and I love worshipping each day with you. Thanks!
Troy! Week two Worship of Advent was AWESOME! Great job leading worship!!! -the devils tryin' to steal my... Joy Joy JOY! God Bless you and all the musical gang!!!

Aaron, we sang a song in church yesterday that I absolutely loved. It was the first time I've heard it and I was wondering if you could tell me who it was by. I believe it was called Glorious. Thanks :)
me and the rest of the baker family are going to miss your leadership so very much...thank you for all that you have done and may God bless you and your family in everything you do from here on out. again: THANK YOU, AARON!!
I am SO EXCITED I'M ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS!!!! Me and my family have been goin to Mars for 5 years this summer and the songs and the style of music that you and the rest of the band do makes the whole experience so...well, awesome. It really helps to get me in a worshipful and open state in which I can interpret Rob's message all the better. THANKS SO MUCH AND KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK!!!

Aaron, you will be greatly missed. I have loved your music and leadership - helping connect us all to Jesus on a different level. I wish you and your family the best in the future. I will be both sad and joyous the next two Sunday's as we all say goodbye!
Aaron, thanks for the many blessed days of worship at Mars. I wanted to say "may God bless you on your journey", but brother ... you are already blessed! May God continue to do his good work through you. I also want to know how some of us might keep in touch with you, and hopefully God will lead you back to Mars every now and again to bring us some of your joy. Christ IS alive!
Aaron, you will be deeply missed. Your worship leading has been a large part of the reason I attend Mars Hill. You are truly blessed!! I pray for God's continued blessings for you and your family in all you do. Jesus Loves You! Jen
Aaron, why are you leaving?! I am deeply saddened; however wish you and your family the best through God's grace. You are blessed and a blessing. Thanks
Thanks for giving a "new" sound to some of the old classics this past Sunday. I thouroughly enjoyed it, and that comes from someone who most of the time really doesn't care for the old classics.
great worshiping w/ you and having a session w/ Shauna @ Willow :) Love listening to your stuff and will be ordering CD's shortly. Can't wait to get her book. Keep up the great work.. Blessings on you!
You guys ROCK
