God’s grace alive in your: Communion with God, Community with the Church, and Commission into the World.
WELCOME!
We are so glad that you joined us for worship today. If this is your first time at Meta, please stop by the Info Center, located just outside the sanctuary, where we have a welcome packet and a free meal card just for you. Meta is a Greek prefix that means “change.” We believe that God-inspired change is an essential part of our journey in following Jesus Christ. On Sunday mornings, we gather together as a community for a life-changing encounter with the living God through worship with song and His Word. Be sure to check out some of the following things that are going on during Sunday mornings! Beginning Sunday, January 10, Pastor Andrew will guide us on a 12 week journey through 2nd Timothy. Paul’s letter to his beloved disciple gives an excellent look at how God views the importance of legacy and transmitting the Gospel of Jesus Christ from one generation to another. Please join us in Room 153 during the Pathways hour (9:30a-10:45a) for what promises to be a powerful and life-transforming inductive Bible study.
