If you have the time, please check out our Ministries section as well. We pray that in doing so, you'll see how the church at Metro is serving God by reaching out to those in the community and beyond and by reaching in to provide opportunities for learning, fellowship, growth, and service to the family at Metro.

If you want to know more, please feel free to call or email us. We look forward to hearing from you and hope you visit soon!

Our building is on the east side of Dodge Park Rd., across the street from the Sterling Heights library. Entrances are on the side and at the back of the building. You are welcome to use either entrance, though the back is closest to the parking lot. We have numerous handicap parking spots, and there is plenty of room to accommodate wheel chairs inside our auditorium.

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 Schedule

Bible 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.

Wednesday Schedule

Bible classes: 7 pm

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.

Our Minister

Jarrod Williams

Jarrod began his ministry at Metro in 2011. Son of and brother to a preacher, Jarrod was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and lived in California. After graduating from Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock, Texas, Jarrod served as the preacher at the Flagler church of Christ in Flagler, Colorado. He then left Colorado to work as a youth minister, first at the Victor Valley church of Christ in Victorville, California, and then at Southgate church of Christ in San Angelo, Texas.

Jarrod joined us in Michigan, moving here in the fall of 2011 with his wife, Stephanie, and their three children: Aven, Harmony, and Adelaide. In his free time, Jarrod enjoys writing, working with computers, watching movies, and playing the guitar. In addition to serving as our preacher at Metro, Jarrod is available for individual Bible studies.

Jarrod's passion is serving God and His people, and he looks forward to serving you. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting, he welcomes you to contact him through any of the following:
