Worship at Metro

Worship is the center of our life together. In worship, we hope to provide a space and time for each of us to encounter God. This happens each week not only in the word and music of our service, but also in the warmth of our relationships with one another and the activity and energy of our gatherings.


Our worship place's emphasis on excellent music, thoughtful preaching, engaging creative elements, participation from the congregation, and time each week to share our joys and concerns with one another. At Metro, we seek to be “liturgical" in the best senses of the word. At base, “liturgy” means “the work of the people.” Worship is not the work of any leader or minister, but work we do together. 


Metro offers a hybrid worship experience.  Attendees are invited to join either in-person in the physical sanctuary in midtown Manhattan or virtually from anywhere via Zoom at 11:00 AM Eastern each Sunday. In whatever capacity you join Metro for worship, you can do so interactively, with each worship experience is led by both in-person and virtual participants.

covenant of concerns

Each week our church members share their prayer requests during the service so we can lift them up in prayer throughout the week.  You can find the prayer requests from last week's service in the bulletin.


How can we pray for you?  Email your request here.

Music

Metro is proud of a rich history of excellence in music, with congregational and choral singing that matches the beauty of our worship space. We draw on the many talents of a congregation filled with singers, actors, and musicians of all kinds. Our music is rooted in the classical tradition, but our worship reflects an openness to the many traditions represented in our congregation. A single service might include hymns and chorale pieces alongside choruses, spirituals, folk music or a well-placed showtune.


Our music ministry is led by Anita Massengill, a longtime Metro member and experienced church musician and Brett Kristofferson, a church pianist who just happens to be an award-winning NYC songwriter.


Our choir meets at 10:00 Sunday mornings.  All are welcome.
