Metropolitan Community Church

The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) is a Christian denomination with a specific outreach to LGBT families and communities. It was founded in 1968 in Los Angeles, California, by Rev Troy Perry, to provide a church that would be welcoming to gay and lesbian people, at a time when most mainstream Christian denominations were hostile.

Each local congregation is an autonomous member of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC).

 * MCC East London

 * River of Life MCC (Dorchester)
 * MCC North London

 * MCC Manchester
 * MCC Newcastle
 * MCC Bournemouth
 * Brightwaves MCC (Brighton)

In 2009, the former MCC Edinburgh merged with the Augustine United Church.
