Fall Service Times
New service times: Saturday 5:00pm, Sunday 9:30 and 11:00am. Saturday night service will be followed by an in-depth study of the book of James at 6:15pm, led by Pastor Bill in the Worship Center.

Baptism
Baptism is an important step in the journey of any Christ-follower. If you have not been baptized, we would love to celebrate with you! We have Baptism every first Wednesday of the month in our Worship Wednesday service and the 3rd weekend of every month during all 3 services. Our next baptism services will be September 18/19 during our three weekend services and then October 6th during our Worship Wednesday service.

Worship Wednesday
Our next Worship Wednesday is October 6th, at 7pm. Join us for a great time of worship, baptism and communion. This is a great way to start the month!

Met Evite
The only way to get disconnected people connected is for YOU to bring them with you to church. Everything that we do each weekend is about creating an experience to help a non-believer feel comfortable enough to come hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ. I know you're around people everyday who need to hear that message! I want to thank everyone who brought guests with them as we saw at least 34 new families come through our doors this past weekend. And I'm looking forward to seeing more and more new faces each week.

Click Here to access the Met Evite and invite your family, friends, neighbors or co-workers to join you this weekend for one of our three services. Join us this weekend as Pastor Bill continues our series called Going Pro.

2K10 Challenge
The vision of the Met is about taking people on a journey where they learn to live for God 24/7; it is not about being a place for people to show up to encounter God for one hour a week. This journey begins with you and your obedience to surrender to God’s leading. Luke 9:23 "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” As your Pastor, I want to help you in this journey and so I’m challenging the church this year to be a part of 2K10. Currently the Met has over 6,000 people attending a service every month and we are looking for at least 2,000 of you to take this challenge.
  1. 2,000 tithing 10%
  2. 2,000 spending 10 hours a month in Spiritual Development
  3. 2,000 serving 10 hours a month
  4. 2,000 inviting 10 people a month
I want you to be all you can be and I want the Met to be all it should be in 2010. We can make this happen when you step up and become a part of 2K10. Click here to Read more...
