Mission Statement

The mission of the Metropolitan District Layman Auxiliary is to enlist and coordinate the manpower of the local congregation for an effective performance of essential Christian activities. To cultivate the Christian life of men through study, worship, fellowship and service. Our focus is on building authentic, Christ-centered, trusting relationships amongst our men. Such that we can help encourage one another to grow in Christ likeness, serve others in need and evangelize the lost. Our goal is also to develop mentors and nurture our young boys, so they can grow to be the men God created them to be.
