Dear Church Member/Guest,
Metro Baptist Church had it’s first service on July 15, 1973 , as a result of God’s call on my life to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and God’s direct leading Dr. John Vaprezsan to Belleville, MI to start an Independent, Fundamental, Soul Winning church. We sincerely care for individuals, as well as families. My deep desire as a Christian, is that as many as possible be given God’s plan for Heaven, and that each would have the opportunity to be saved. My desire as Pastor, is that each child of God would grow in their walk with Him, and that they would fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. Metro Baptist Church is not a spiritual museum to show ourselves off, but rather a spiritual hospital to help the hurting, and a spiritual health food store to strengthen and encourage God’s people. If we could serve you and your family, it would be an honor to do so.
-In His Service,
Pastor Jim Humble
