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).
UK MCC congregations include:
- MCC East London
- [Living Springs ECC]] (Bath)
- Journey MCC (Birmingham)
- River of Life MCC (Dorchester)
- MCC North London
- MCC South London
- CC Manchester
- MCC Newcastle
- MCC Bournemouth
- Brightwaves MCC (Brighton)
- MCC Torbay and Plymouth
- MCC in Glasgow
In 2009, the former MCC Edinburgh merged with the Augustine United Church.[1]
