a brief update by way of links to the Redeemer PDX merger with Door of Hope. In the Staff/Elders page for Door of Hope there's no sign of anyone named Tim Smith

What would Tim Smith’s role at Door of Hope be? Would he be an elder?

Tim would serve as an associate pastor, working alongside our other pastors in shepherding the church. Additionally, he’d play a key role in helping the Redeemer congregation integrate into DoH. He would not be coming on as an elder. [emphasis added]

Since the merger was consolidated and filed slightly more than a month ago perhaps there has not been time to officially add Tim Smith to the listed staff and elders, or perhaps an associate pastor would not be listed on the website?

As we'd noted in the earlier post, the numbers for what used to be MH PDX looked like they were dropping before the formal closure and while we never had access or were given much by way of information here at WtH about MH PDX post closure of MH it seems that the downward spiral of numbers got to the point where a merger happened.  Back in 2012 at its peak, Mark Driscoll was blogging about how Jesus loved church mergers and so should you.  The irony of a former Mars Hill campus merging with another church and giving them a building would be hard to overstate for those who at any point called the church their home church. 

Thus ends, apparently completely, the story of what was once Mars Hill Portland.
