Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Finish Strong: You Can Make a Difference
As we approach the end of this year, we’re facing an urgent need. Currently, we have a $250,000 deficit that’s impacting our ability to fully engage in the mission God has set before us. We are asking for your partnership as we finish strong.
While the need is great, we believe God is greater, and we know He’s already been at work in remarkable ways through our ministries. Here’s how:
• Student Ministry: Our students are leading the charge, with 180 students gathering every week—serving, worshiping, and even preaching the Word.
• Young Adult Ministry: From one small group to five small groups, our Young Adults are growing, forming deep relationships, and stepping into leadership roles.
• Overall Growth: Our church has grown by over 15%, with kids' ministries seeing explosive growth of 18% and preschool at 111%.
• Global Impact: We’ve sent teams to share Christ’s love in Germany, Guatemala, South Africa, and Sudan.
But we can’t continue this momentum without your help. Every dollar given will go directly toward meeting our deficit and supporting our mission to make disciples and reach our community. Whether it’s $150 or $5,000, every gift matters and will make a lasting impact.
We invite you to give generously and join us in seeing God’s provision in the face of this need. Together, we can finish this year strong!
Our Belief in Giving
Honoring God through the act of worship by giving our firstfruits is what we believe (Proverbs 3:9). It serves as a reminder that everything we possess, not just what we give, belongs to the Lord (Psalm 24:1). God grants us eternal gifts (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 2:12) as well as temporary ones (Deuteronomy 8:17-18, James 1:17), and when we, as followers of Christ, give freely and with joy from our resources, we imitate God. Your willingness to give not only supports our mission of being and making disciples, but it also reveals your relationship with God (2 Corinthians 9:12-15) and the benefits of investing wisely (Acts 20:35, Luke 12:33). Let us all prayfully consider how we can continue to invest in this mission with our hearts and with God’s possessions.
Online
At The MET, we know that generosity has the power to change lives – both for those who give and those who receive. That’s why we make it easy and secure for you to support our mission through online giving. Whether you prefer to give using your bank account, credit card, or debit card, we’ve got you covered. And when you give directly from your bank account, it helps us save on processing fees, which means even more of your gift goes directly to our ministries. So why wait? Join us in making a difference today by giving generously to The MET.
In Person
At The MET, we believe that giving should be an intentional and joyful act of worship. We no longer pass a collection plate, but we’ve made it easy and convenient for you to give securely during our weekend services. Simply look for one of our giving kiosks located near the main worship center doors or along the walls of the lobby corridors leading to the worship center. With this option, you can give confidently and know that your gift will be used to advance our mission of transforming lives and impacting our community.

Midweek Giving
Giving should be easy and convenient, which is why we offer multiple options for you to contribute to The MET's mission. In addition to our giving kiosks located throughout our main campus, you can also drop off your gift with our friendly receptionist on the first floor of the office building during office hours, Monday through Thursday. Or, you can use the dropbox feature located next to the Office building glass doors. The office building is the two-story building located directly next to our main campus, near the Jones/Regency Green entrance. Whether you're dropping off a one-time gift or setting up a recurring donation, you can rest assured that your contribution is making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for partnering with us in this important work.
A Journey of Faith and Financial Surrender
Through discipline and trust, Donnie and Heather Mosher learned to release their grip on finances and embrace God's unwavering provision. Join them on this inspiring journey of faith, where surrendering control led to deeper connection with God's abundant grace.
The Call to Obedient Generosity
In this video, we're reminded of the significance of obedience in our giving journey. Just like the Hauser family, who experienced a profound peace when they decided to faithfully give, we are reminded of our call to obedient generosity.
