Growth of Mars Hill house churches reshapes Iowa faith scene
In Coralville and Iowa City, Mars Hill house churches emerge from a large Stonebrook core. Led by lay leaders like Jason Rohlf, these intimate groups meet in homes, blend music scripture and discussion, and aim to deepen faith beyond traditional congregations. The trend aligns with Barna findings of 22 percent attending home services monthly.
