History
Founded22 March 2006

While headquartered at its Varsity Lakes campus on the Gold Coast, METRO is a multi-site church with a campus in Brisbane, Queensland.

History

These preliminary meetings quickly outgrew the premises and METRO had its official launch in March 2006 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.[1][2] 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. In late 2018 the Southport building was sold & is now a Mosque (116 Ridgeway Avenue). METRO Church relocated to its new Varsity Lakes location on Scottsdale Drive.
