The MET Church — Attraction in Jersey Village

This has been weighing on my heart to discuss. When I was in high school, I volunteered for all three services in the children’s ministry, and I volunteered once at VBS too. Last year, I was going through personal hardships while also being unemployed from August 2024-April 2025. I used up all my savings and had no luck with any employment opportunities. I even sold my salvaged car to help make ends meet and lost a lot of personal belongings due to a mold infestation in my apartment that my renters insurance refused to cover. I applied for One Need and opened up about everything I was struggling with, and I asked for rental assistance for one month (I also struggled with government assistance as I am not a veteran or mother). I was asked by the person on the other line if I was a member and I said I wasn’t sure. I’ve been going since I was young and I just felt that I belonged so I don’t know if my mom registered me or not. I hadn’t heard back so I reached out to the director of the program and I was told that my need was not “alerted”, whatever that means. Nobody reached out to me to tell me no, and I wasn’t even given referrals to other churches or programs that could help me. Though I haven’t given monetary value, I have volunteered many hours for children’s programs here and I thought that my commitment and devotion would have at least given me the opportunity for guidance/referrals. I’ve been struggling with religion as of late and I feel like me being deemed unworthy of help only makes it harder for me to find comfort in a church. I thought/hoped that maybe I deserved the decency of compassion and redirection. I don’t know if I was denied because I was possibly listed as a non-member, but I believe God would want everyone to treat their neighbors with kindness. I ended up getting some help from a Catholic Church (St. Vincent du Paul) instead where three ladies came to my apartment, heard my story, shed tears with me, prayed over me, and left me with a small goodie bag as well as a check they provided to my apartment complex. Maybe I’m just not meant to go...

Let’s talk about the positives first. The pastor and members are very friendly. They have great facilities for children. They have coffee for members and guests. They have reserved parking for guest and they have a shuttle service from the parking lot. Once inside you will see a large and beautiful interior. The attire is casual to informal. Which is refreshing. That’s the good

Now in my opinion the not so good. As a former car sales manager I felt right at home. Everything is about selling and marketing. They first ask for your money before the service begins. While they receive tithing they go to those true and tried methods of quoting Malachi and etc. Knowing full well that Malachi refers to the levite priesthood who was stealing. Next they track attendees. We do the same thing in the car industry. We want to know how many people attend. We do this to estimate our closing percentage. This is unfortunately a sign of they don’t go by faith but rather marketing techniques. They want members and guests to complete the form. Renovations have begun but the building is in excellent condition. I suspect more glitter and gold but don’t really know. What I do know is the following. A special tithe is for the widows orphans poor and foreigners. I don’t think so here. The church appears to be focus on human desires and not our Heavenly Father. It’s a place with glitter and good feelings. Not a place the lord dwells. I am sure they believe in Jesus. They’ve just lost their way. Like so many churches that have been corrupted, they have lost there way. They don’t fill up the church completely on any given Sunday. But I suspect that’s what the renovations are geared to accomplish. Many people need a grand palace to praise our father. Many are called but few are chosen. I don’t think either is the case for these pastors. They are just part of a system. I don’t fault them or have bad thoughts. Money changes people. Large...

The Late ReView.. ha haha The Day was Sunday 2.18.24 just after 9 and a Quarter. I go into a church a few miles from The Met. I walk in and was Prompted to Leave. I was then Guided to Go here. The Guiding.. Well its a God Thing or Spirit Guide. ha ha ha AnyWay.. I had not been to The Met in several months. This Was The Best Day to BE Here.. I needed To Hear THIS Message.. BC I keep Hearing it WithIN MYSELF. ITs A LOUD VOICE ha ha haha Think Jonah.. No.. I don't want to Do IT ha haha

The Speaker on that day was Christian Miller. I do not know any of the people here. I just looked it up ha ha ha The Message is Titled.. The Power of Generosity. "Church.. YOU DonT Have To Give" Ahhh.. Yes.. That is Right! I Give Because I want to.. From My Heart. I Love Churches that a Helping.. Loving.. Sharing.. Supporting.. Teaching Adults, Teens, Small kids and Babies to Thrive in This World.
