The Metro District acknowledges the diversity in the world: abilities, age, beliefs, culture, experience, gender, language, race, skills, and values. Everyone is unique and made in the image of God. We welcome the contribution from each individual that enhance our knowledge and understanding of others.
Our commitment is to nurture and support our communities in the process toward greater health and financial stability, through educational opportunities.
One of the focal areas of the Metro District is social justice advocacy for radical reconciliation.
