ABOUT METROCHURCH

OUR CHURCH DNA.

Loving Like Jesus


We believe that God’s agapē love, with His incredible grace, changes and transforms hearts.

We want to teach and model the two great commandments that Jesus spoke:

(Mark 12 v.30-31)

  1. Love the Lord with everything within us

  2. Love our neighbors as ourselves

Making Disciples


We believe our role as a community of faith is to activate and equip people to:

  • Hear the Holy Spirit for themselves

  • Empower people to demonstrate who Jesus is to those around them

That’s real world modeling of a Living Savior.
