Metrogroups
Biblical community = the foundation of care.
MetroGroups are where friendship, faith, and growth happen. Everyone needs a circle to walk with, and these smaller groups make our big church feel like family. Whatever your background or season of life, there’s a group for you.
“They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts...”
—Acts 2:46

Three Ways to Connect

LIFE GROUPS
Community Focus
Community Focus
Life Groups help build lasting relationships rooted in faith. These groups meet weekly in homes or at church to share meals, reflect on Sunday’s message, and pray for one another.

GROW
Learning Focus
If you're hungry to go deeper in your faith, Growth Groups are a great next step. These groups focus on spiritual development through book studies, Bible studies, and practical topics.

CARE
Shepherding Focus
Struggling with a specific sin? Navigating relational wounds? Care Groups provide focused support, grounded in Scripture and led by caring facilitators who’ve walked that road.
Groups meet during spring and fall semesters. Both in-person and online groups are available!
Care Team
Metro’s Care Team is a trained group of leaders available for one-on-one prayer, conversation, and spiritual shepherding. If you're going through a difficult season—like a divorce, job loss, or family crisis—our team is ready to listen and walk with you.
