We are part of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC)
UFMCC is a global Christian church of loving, affirming and welcoming communities of faith that aims to tear down walls of injustice and oppression in local communities and throughout the world.
Churches are located in over 40 countries on 6 continents and are made up of congregants from many different walks of life. Because of this, we have a fellowship of churches that celebrate diversity both within their local congregations and among our global community.
As a global church, we share the foundational calling (mission) for a specific and intentional outreach to/with homosexual, bisexual, and transgender people. Our churches actively minister in their communities to and with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) people.
We are a church that believes in the priesthood of all believers. That means, in a nutshell, that when you walk into the church and become an MCC member, you become a messenger that God loves all of God’s children and celebrates our created sexualities, our diversities and our individual uniqueness.
All people have value and worth and are uniquely gifted to share the Good News with others. It takes the whole body, clergy and laity, to live out the Good News!
