From Our Pastor...

Dear Friends, Pastor Bill's Family
I invite you to enjoy life with God and others at Metro North Church. Our staff and members are eager to welcome you to the wonderful journey of living in a joyful relationship with our gracious and loving heavenly Father. It is our desire to be a part of the solution to "long-faced religion" that we see so much of today. If you don’t have a church home, please consider ours.
I believe Metro North is a caring and compassionate family of staff and members whose desire it is to encourage you wherever you are in your spiritual journey. We will accept you where you are and, if you’re willing, help you take steps forward in your walk with God. If you have questions about the Christian faith, we’ll help you discover the answers in God’s Word. If you are a new Christian, we’ll assist you in growing in your relationship with God. If you are a Christian without a church or new to the area, we encourage you to become involved in what God is doing at Metro North.
This website is designed to be an introduction to the church ­ its life, worship and ministries. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
My prayer is that you will take the next step and visit with us. Allow us to get to know you, to serve you and to encourage you in your spiritual life.
Welcome to Metro North Church  
Sincerely,
Bill Thompson
