The
Metro Church values Christian fellowship. We believe that God intended
people from varying economic, racial, religious, and social backgrounds
to come together as one church, under the headship of Jesus Christ.
For this reason the Metro Church strives to be open to all. We believe
Christ must be held up as the standard for how every believer should
conduct their daily lives, allowing for unity among diversity. The
fellowship of the Metro Church is rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ
and obedience to his commands. 1
John 1:7; Matthew 28:19; Romans 1:17
The Metro Church values Christian friendship.
It is recognized that words alone will not result in a strong, lasting
fellowship among believers. For this reason, every member is encouraged
to lovingly reach out to other brothers and sisters in Christ and
invest their time and effort to develop strong Christian relationships.
It is hoped that every person can say that they have friends within
the Metro family.
The Metro Church values wounded people. It is
recognized that people are sometimes hurt by past religious experiences
and therefore may have become cynical towards the church and/or
disillusioned about their relationship to God and their place in
the church. For this reason Metro strives to be a place of refuge
and healing.
Oneness
is
acheived through communication and fellowship. Metro members are
informed through our website and email about
prayer requests and
current events. From recreational
teams and 2:42 small groups, to special fellowship events such as
Fall Festival, Super Sunday, Memorial Day Picnic, Theater Productions,
Christmas program, Children's Easter Program, Mission trips, Women's
Retreats and Men's Events, there are many opportunities to get involved
in the lives of others. Get
Connected.
"A
new command I give: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you
must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another."
John 13:35-36
"From
him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting
ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does
its work."
Ephesians 4:16
