Metamora Mennonite Church is a Christian community committed to following Jesus together. No matter where you are in your journey with Jesus, we’d love to journey with you.
New to church?
Whether you are looking for a new church, or have never darkened the doors of a church, the first Sunday can be intimidating. So much so, that many people never take that first step. The biggest cause of anxiety is simply not knowing what to expect.
When you walk into Metamora Mennonite Church, you will be greeted by a friendly face and a big smile. We value every person that walks in the door, be it their first visit or the 500th.
You will discover people dressed comfortably. There will be some people dressed casually and others more formally. A welcomer will help you find a place to hang your coat, point you to the restrooms, nursery and children's areas, coffee area if needed or desired.
An usher will help you find a comfortable seat in the sanctuary and provide you with a bulletin so you can fully participate in the service without having to guess what is coming next.
Adult faith formation
Adult Study – Meets from 9am to 9:45 in the Pastor’s Study – Facilitated by Dave Ewert. Through May 2025, the adults will be studying the book Blessed are the Others.
The worship service
Time: Metamora Mennonite Church meets in person and online on Sunday mornings for worship at 10:00 am.
Our music is diverse because our musicians are diverse. Some Sundays you will be invited to sing along with organ and piano. Other Sundays it will be a more contemporary style of music.
Our preaching is Bible-based and Jesus-centered.

CHILDREN
Children are a valuable part of the faith community and, therefore, they are a valuable part of worship at MMC. Each Sunday we welcome children’s participation in worship and have a children’s message just for them.
We place a high value on safety and security of our children and other vulnerable people. Click here to review our Safe Church Policy and feel free to inquire with any questions you may have.

prayer
Each Sunday we have a prayer and sharing time. This is a time where people can share their joys and concerns, which are then prayed for by the congregation.
You can also request prayer by sending an email to admin@metmenno.org. All requests shared individually with pastors or elders, or emailed to the church, are kept confidential unless you specify otherwise (i.e. if you want them on the prayer chain or listed in The Weekly).
giving
We pass the plate for our offering. You are also invited to drop your offering in the offering box in the narthex or give online.
communion
We celebrate communion (The Lord's Supper) on various Sundays throughout the year. These services will be announced via the web and in print so that people can prepare.
We've been told, by guests and visitors, that Metamora Mennonite is an open, warm and hospitable congregation. We look forward to meeting you and worshiping together!
