Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) is an ecumenical Christian church that was founded in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community. We strive to be a church that finds unity in our diversity. While not all of our members identify as GLBT, our church seeks to reach out to all persons who feel disenfranchised by Christianity especially GLBT persons. They believe that all sexual orientations and gender identities are loved by God and should be welcomed completely into the Church. Throughout our history, many gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual people have found hope and have lived the joy, reverence, and excitement of our fellowship and faith in God. We have seen how people have been changed by this experience. Quite simply, we make a difference in people's lives. MCC first held a worship service in Bournemouth in 1979. For over 25 years since, we have been celebrating God's love for all people, irrespective of gender, race, or sexuality. Today, as self-aware and self-affirming people, we reclaim the fullness of our humanity, including our spirituality and sexuality. We find great truth in the Christian tradition, and we find that our encounter with God is transformational and healing.
