Schedule
COVID-19 UPDATE: The times listed below are our normal times of service. Due to COVID-19, we have had to temporarily change the way we run our services. Sunday mornings, we offer two in-person services: the first at 9:30 am, and the second (which is streamed to our Facebook page and can be viewed here) at 11 am. We are no longer offering in-person worship services during the week. However, our preacher, Jarrod Williams, teaches a number of classes virtually throughout the week. These classes can be found on our Facebook page.
Sunday ScheduleBible classes: 10 am
Worship: 11 am and 6 pm A staffed nursery is available during Sunday morning worship. Prior to the sermon, Pre-K through 4th grade children are dismissed to participate in Bible Hour in the lower elementary classroom. Children can be picked up immediately after worship service. |

More information about classes for children, teens, and adults is located in the Ministries section of our website.

Our Worship
At Metro our goal is to incorporate into our community the identity, practices, and teachings of the church as it appears in the pages of the New Testament. We want to believe as they believed, preach as they preached, and worship as they worshipped. We also try to avoid man-made traditions as our desire is to worship in a way that allows no barriers between our members and our Lord as we come together at the foot of the cross. As a result, our worship service is Christ-centered and simple, but also personal, dynamic, and up-lifting.
|
We sing a cappella (without musical instruments), using song books as well as a paperless hymnal on our overhead screen. We also pray together, share in the communion, read from the Bible, and receive encouragement through the preaching of God's word.
During communion, we remember Christ and His sacrifice for us. You are welcome to share in the unleavened bread and grape juice. If you choose not to, simply pass the plate down the pew to the person next to you or return it to the server. |
We collect an offering during our time together, but as a guest, you are not expected to contribute. However, if you feel comfortable doing so, please fill out a pink visitor's card (located in the back of each pew) and place it in the collection plate or hand it to someone after worship.
After the sermon, during the singing of a hymn, we invite anyone who needs our prayers or desires to be baptized into Christ, to come to the front pew and share his or her needs with one of our shepherds or with the minister. |
