Metropolitan Association

At its April 25, 2009 Annual Meeting, the Association adopted this mission statement:

We covenant to demonstrate God’s grace-filled love with generosity through worshipping, witnessing and ministering to the needs of our community and the world.

Our Interim Southeast Regional Conference Minister is Freeman Palmer.  You can reach Freeman by e-mail at freemanpalmer@uccny.org or by phone at 201-388-6447.  His mailing address is:
