The MET originally started by a meeting in the Metropolitan Tabrinacle in Huckell's Hall in Higgerty's Shoe Store on Bank Street. That meeting turned into a first gathering of 80 people on September 13th, 1931. The location was 453 Bank Street.[1]
Eighty years later, in June 2007, some volunteers started to help clear the eight acre piece of land for the new location. The new location was to be at Prince of Wales Drive & West Hunt Club Road. Up until the new church was built, 1800 people had piled into multiple locations.[1]
The following Senior Pastors have served at The MET:[2] 1932-1943 Rev. Andrew Telford, 1943-1944 Rev Archie McGilvray, 1944-1949 Rev George Darby, 1950-1960 Pastor James Vold, 1961-1972 Pastor Arthur Larson, 1972-1983 Rev H.D. (Buddy) Arnold, 1986-1993 Pastor David Epstein, 1993-1998 Pastor David Bell, 1998-present Pastor Rick Reed.
