METRO Church is a Pentecostal church affiliated with Australian Christian Churches (the Australian branch of the Assemblies of God) and located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The church's senior pastors, Garry and Kasey McDonald, began the church in 2006 after being sent out from SurfCity Christian Church to start a new church. While headquartered at its Southport campus on the Gold Coast, METRO is a multi-site church with a campus in Toowoomba and one on the Sunshine Coast. METRO International Leadership College commenced in 2007 and in 2008 METRO Church released its first Worship Album. == History == Prior to its official launch, METRO began as a Bible study in a coffee shop. These preliminary meetings quickly outgrew the premises and METRO had its official launch in March 2006 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre. Almost 4000 people attended the event, which included a free concert featuring Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian. After the launch the church began to host weekly meetings in a rented cinema. In 2008 METRO received an old church facility in Southport as a freehold gift, which was promptly renovated and re-opened in August of that year. METRO has quickly grown and has a congregation of around 1000 people in regular attendance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「METRO Church Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
