It is a gift to have diverse ways that people can serve within the local church: pastors (elders), deacons, apostolic or prophetic ministry, teachers, evangelists, community group leaders, ministry team leaders, serving team leaders, directors, etc. All of these are critical to God's good design for the spiritual health and experience of care in our community.
These are subject to prayer and God’s Word, using the fruit and gifts that the Spirit of God so generously provides for His church.
Pastors
Our pastors lead Metro Life Church by working together as a team to provide spiritual leadership for the church and preach the Word of God. They also work to set the congregation's vision of loving God, growing together, and sharing Jesus Christ with others.
