ABOUT METROCHURCH

OUR CHURCH DNA.

Loving Like Jesus

We believe that God’s agapē love, with His incredible grace, changes and transforms hearts.

We want to teach and model the two great commandments that Jesus spoke:

(Mark 12 v.30-31)

  1. Love the Lord with everything within us

  2. Love our neighbors as ourselves

Making Disciples

We believe our role as a community of faith is to activate and equip people to:

  • Hear the Holy Spirit for themselves

  • Empower people to demonstrate who Jesus is to those around them

That’s real world modeling of a Living Savior.

In 1988, after overseeing the Youth & Children’s ministries, they were sent out to begin MetroChurch. Together, their desire is to live a deep life in the things of the Spirit and continue modeling God’s amazing agapē love.

Pastor Pete is a regional father and prophetic voice in the region — often found discipling others to become who God has called them to be or serving the poor and homeless communities in Paterson.
