Affiliations

Since our inception, Metro has held that this church would be a church for all persons, due to our open arms community values, progressive theology, and our liberal social/political traditions we have recently had to turn away from our historical SBC-based affiliations. For quite some time Metro refrained in taking this large step, but we finally pulled away due to irreconcilable differences with the Southern Baptist Convention.

We now have our strongest ties to the Alliance of Baptists, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and the local Metropolitan New York Baptist Association. By joining hands with sister churches of compatible views, we hope to help breathe life into the progressive Baptist faith and share our witness with the world.
