sponsorship opportunities

On behalf of the METRO Board - welcome to Student Metro 2025! 

Over the years, this week has proven to be a pivotal time for student pastors and our wives. It is a week of building community, making memories, and growing in our ministerial and personal lives. The principles of leadership and the nuggets of pastoral ministry have encouraged and impacted those in the room and the ministries they represent. 

This year, we want to focus on the ‘unity’ we have together in Christ. We are better together when we pray for, encourage, check on, and collaborate for the sake of the advancement of the Gospel.

As a sponsor, you have the opportunity to make personal connections with Student Pastors from an array of large churches and ministries. We value your partnership and never shy away from making connections with like-minded organizations.  It would be a joy to have you "in the room" with us in 2025.
