Community Groups: Spring Term

At Metro Life Church we are a church OF Community Groups, not just a church with Community Groups. We consider Community Groups an essential part of church life. We desire that every member of Metro Life Church know the great benefit there is to living life in Community. Our Community Groups will be starting again in January, please go to metrolife.org/community to sign up for a Community Group this Spring Term!”

Controversial Conversations

February 10, 2023

6:00pm – 8:30pm

Location: 910 S. Winter Park Drive, Casselberry, FL 32707

Often during the week, I'll find myself sitting in Chris' office for longer than I intended to. What was supposed to be a quick chat about how a new season of a children's show introduced the concept of same-sex couples to my 6 and 2-year-old instead led into an hour-long conversation about parenting in our culture.

Or there was that time when I was late to a meeting because Chris and I got lost in a conversation about how women have been hindered in church culture, how it harms the entire church, and how we can empower women moving forward.

Your takeaway from all of this might be that I need to spend less time in Chris' office. Stop talking, close his office door, and get back to work.

Instead, I want to invite you in.
