Metro is NOT a church.  However, our organization was formed by the First Methodist Church of Fresno when they moved “north” to Barstow Avenue to merge with Wesley Methodist in 1970. The merger committee saw the need to create a 501(c)3 to meet the needs of the residents left in the decaying Downtown. Read our History.

Today, we pride ourselves as a multicultural, multi-faith based community benefit organization that values and has made a commitment to the inclusion of people of ALL faith backgrounds in our Board and community programs and projects alike.
