The MET is a multi-site church in Northwest Houston. We strongly believe in relational discipleship, and connecting with others in small groups. ------------------------------- History Over 40 years ago, people of faith and sacrifice pursued God’s vision to make a place for people to connect with Jesus Christ and each other. In 1965, 15 families began what was known then as Fellowship Baptist Church. They secured four acres of land, and voted to begin building the first building. Over the next five years, these families made a place for almost 300 new members. In 1970, the church dedicated its new sanctuary. Two years later, another building was completed, and we purchased ten additional acres of land to continue making a place for people. With over 1,100 people involved in our church we became known as the fastest growing church in the Gulf Coast region. By 1985, we built and dedicated our current Worship Center. Each time as God provided a place for us, still more people came. In 1998, we finalized the Atrium. It is home to The MET Kids Ministry, Lamb School Preschool, Small Groups and more. In 2013 we opened our second campus, located in the Cypress area at Fry and Tuckerton. The MET is now 1 church in 2 locations. What began with 15 families has grown to over 8,000 members. There are countless souls who have been transformed eternally—simply because 15 families obeyed God and made a place for them. Today, that vision remains the same. This passion to make a place for people fueled our church’s growth over the next 15 years. In 1982, the church was named Metropolitan Baptist Church and known in the community as The MET. The MET is a church that believes in relationally discipling others, to go and disciple others.
