Pastor Darryl Marin serves as the Lead Pastor of The Hills Church in Evansville, Indiana. Since its establishment in 2018, The Hills Church has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from 300 to 2500 in weekly attendance. The church’s primary focus is on men, fathers, and husbands, with a demographic primarily composed of families in their early to mid-thirties, many of whom had no prior relationship with Jesus before joining.

The Hills Church fosters a welcoming environment for “misfits and exiles,” where broken individuals find connection and support. The church emphasizes authenticity and transparency, encouraging members to embrace their imperfections as they pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. Darryl believes in providing a space where people can be themselves, unpolished and genuine, while experiencing the transformative power of faith.

Beyond his role as a pastor, Darryl Marin is a devoted husband to his wife Jennifer, with whom he shares a marriage of 22 years. Together, they are proud parents to two sons, Cade, an 18-year-old studying at USI, and Chase, a 15-year-old sophomore in High School. Both Darryl and Jennifer hail from Florida and have dedicated the past two decades to ministry, impacting lives and spreading hope in their community. They are passionate about creating a family-oriented church where individuals can find belonging, purpose, and a supportive community for their spiritual journey.
