Our Lead Pastor
Ky Faciane
After an overwhelming majority of active members voting in favor July 28, 2024, Ky Faciane is the new Lead Pastor of The MET Church in Houston, TX. Raised in a Christian home in Pensacola, FL, Ky fully surrendered to Jesus Christ in 1999, igniting a deep passion for God’s Word, the Church, prayer, and evangelism. He has since served in multiple pastoral roles and holds a BS in Business Administration from LSU-Shreveport and an MDIV from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Ky is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry. Ky has been married to his wife, Christy, for 26 years, whom he met in college at the University of Mobile. They have three children: Laura Leigh, a Baylor graduate working in Manhattan; Lilibeth, a University of Arkansas sophomore studying fashion merchandising; and Will, a high school junior and football player.

Our Elder Team
At The MET, our team of Elders are shepherds and spiritual overseers. They ensure compliance with our by-laws, approve the annual budget, and provide accountability for our Lead Pastor as he reports to them as a body. Throughout the New Testament, Elders are described as managing aspects of the church as well as shepherding the church.
