Surprised I didn't hear about this earlier. But apparently throughout 2014 Mark Driscoll got hit hard with more
formal complaints of what everyone has known for years. This was a follow up to dwindling attendance which almost halved from a peak of 11,000 and donations which resulted in the closure of three branches. The eventual culmination was
Driscoll's resignation in mid-October. The new lead pastor then immediately announced plans to
dissolve Mars Hill, all the individual churches will have the option to continue if sustainable as separate independent churches or will have to close their doors as well.
Got to say good riddance. Driscoll was a really nasty piece of work.
