Richard Smallwood, who faithfully served as Metropolitan’s Artist-in-Residence. From 1977 to 2015, under the visionary leadership of Rev. Dr. Hicks as Senior Servant and later Pastor Emeritus, Richard Smallwood helped shape the sound and soul of Metropolitan. He directed the Young Adult Choir, ministered through music week after week, and was often found at the keyboa
