who we are
OUR BEGINNING
Metropolitan Cathedral of Truth opened its doors on Sunday, January 1, 1984, to provide a home, shelter, and growth environment for the many persons who had been won to the Lord through the evangelistic outreach of Helena Barrington Crusades for Christ, Incorporated. Our founding pastors, Dr. Kennith Barrington and the late Dr. Helena Barrington transitioned from an evangelistic team to caring for a young flock of believers. From our humble beginnings on the top floor of Roberta’s Florist (the Barrington family business); to the mirrored storefront building on Gaines Street; to the first official church building on Miccosukee Road; and on to our permanent location at 1110 Rich Bay Road in Havana, Florida. God has been faithful.
Our Vision
- To persuade people everywhere to believe in, follow, and rely on Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to disciple them to make disciples of others and carry out the Great Commission. (Matthew 28: 19-20)
- To prepare a people who will speak prophetically to the kingdoms of this world;
- To speak the wisdom and power of God into situations and areas of life that are
destitute of the character and gentle persuasion of God’s Word. By speaking God’s
wisdom and power, it brings about righteousness, promotes peace, and inspires
indescribable and glorious joy that comes only from the government of His Holy Spirit.
We speak it beyond our words – with our lifestyle and character.
WE BELIEVE
It is our belief that it is the “whole duty of man” to “fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes12:13); “to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8); and to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and love thy neighbor as thyself,” (Matt. 22:37, 39).
OUR PURPOSE
Metropolitan Cathedral of Truth has been
established as a center of:
Praise and Worship
Restoration and Healing
Bible Teaching and Fellowship
Family Growth and Development
