Metro exists to...
help young adults see the beauty of Jesus and seek to know him personally.
Vision Verse
One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
Psalm 27:4
Psalm 27:4
History
Metro Bible Study – also known as “MetroLive” - initially started in 1994, with a simple vision in mind. A group of young adults dreamed of a place where young adults from across the Houston area could gather weekly to worship with one another and study God’s word.
This dream was soon realized as thousands of college students, singles, and married young adults in their 20-30s began gathering weekly to connect with God and one another. The Lord faithfully blessed this ministry for 20 years, providing a space for people to learn what it means to live for Jesus in their young adult years. In 2015, a decision was made to partner with The Porch - a young adults ministry in Dallas - as their first ever “Porch Live” location. During this time, the Metro team was able to learn from and serve alongside what’s become the largest young adult ministry of its kind in the nation.
After a 6-year journey with The Porch, Metro has officially returned! Our vision is no different than that of those first young adults over 30 years ago: to be a place where young adults from across our city can come to worship Jesus, hear from His word, and walk with him for a lifetime.
We often say that Metro is “From Houston // For Houston.” This is more than just a tagline; this is our heart. We believe God is moving in the lives of young adults in this city, and we can’t wait to see how He will continue to move in the days ahead.
