About Mission Metroplex

Mission Metroplex began in 1990 to support, enhance and expand the ministries begun by Mission Arlington. As Mission Arlington began providing Bible Studies in apartment communities, it quickly became apparent the physical, emotional and intellectual needs of the people (as well as the spiritual) needed to be met. Mission Metroplex enables over 360 Bible Studies throughout the Arlington/Fort Worth/Grand Prairie area to thrive through the effort of approximately 2,500 volunteers a week. Other ministries include childcare, transportation, clothing, furniture, household items, food pantry, medical clinic, and counseling. Professional and non professional volunteers provide these services at no charge.
