Exalt.
Radical praise is what we do weekly at Metropolitan as an outward expression of what's in our heart because we are thankful of what God has done for us.
Equip.
Relevant and relatable preaching that takes the ancient bible and connects it to real life issues and problems you're going through is the style of our senior pastor.
Engage.
Relationships are the core of our experience. From the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave, we want to get to know you and we want you to know us.
