<p>The Lafayette Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is not a building, but a people. We are brothers and sisters who choose to minister with one another, bringing varied gifts and viewpoints for the good of the Whole, and celebrating our life journeys within community.</p>
<p>Our community life and worship style is flexible, casual, open, traditional and contemporary; inclusive of all people. We cherish frequent participation by youth and children as worship leaders and teachers of wonder and mystery. The community is an example of combining the strong role of personal responsibility and faith with social and global responsibility. </p>
<p>Our guests in worship and our community life reflect deep individual and communal spirituality. There is an intentional openness to the wisdom of all faith traditions; a progressive understanding of our world, our faith, and our call to “healing ministries,” and the challenges, gifts and possibilities brought through a strong education program for all ages.</p>

<p>At Metro Life Church we have made it our first priority to make you feel at home. With a casual and friendly atmosphere you will experience life changing worship and messages relevant to your daily life.</p>
<p>Our approach is simple. We want to reach everyone we can with more than lights, music, and multi-media. We want to show them the contagious love of God.</p>
<p>In the modern church today, methods of reaching people have dramatically advanced. While we welcome this new creativity, our message will never change. We hold firmly to helping people find out who they are in Christ and their authority as a child of God.</p>
<p>Whether you are single, married, single again, with or without children &#8211; no matter where you&#8217;ve been or what you&#8217;ve done &#8211; we invite you to experience the difference here at Metro Life Church.</p>

<p><strong>Let&#8217;s Throw it all Out!</strong></p>
<p>I have met a number of people who tell me they have given up on church but not on God. I agree with them in many respects, but I can’t agree that giving up on healthy spiritual friendships is also good. Why can’t we just give up on all the bad church stuff and keep the spiritually healthy parts—the biblically true parts?</p>
<p>That’s what I’m all about!</p>
<p>Here are just a few things that we find in the Bible that should characterize the people who claim to know Jesus.</p>
<p>    * humility in all things, placing God at the top of every list.<br />
    * deep relationships with others who share the faith, and a commitment to mutuality.<br />
    * passionate desire to become more and more like Jesus who loved us enough to die for us and to send his Spirit to maximize our potential.<br />
    * an eager joyfulness in using the unique blessings God has given each of us (wealth, health, talents, time, experience, etc.) to bless others in the same way so they too can grow as we have.</p>
<p>As you can see, this leaves a lot of room for various musical styles, gathering times, meeting locations, topics of study and more. We aren’t hung up on the externals. We are hung up on growing closer to Jesus and helping others do the same.</p>
<p><strong>Service Times</strong><br />

<p>As a church, we want to be outreach-minded.  We seek to meet the felt needs of people where they are and then through outreach efforts, build trusting relationships and invite them to our church. Grace Church exists to reach out to our community with a message of acceptance and grace to both churched and unchurched people.</p>
<p>Grace Church is a place where people gather to share their faith, and grow in their faith. You will be met at the door with a smile and a handshake that let&#8217;s you know you are welcome here. We have something special planned for everyone in your family, from newborns to adult. We invite you to come and be a part of our community.  Grace is all about real people living real lives, and families doing life together.</p>
<p> Join us this Sunday at ten o&#8217;clock for a worship service. During the week we get together in smaller community groups that allow us to build meaningful relationships with others.</p>
