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 church is autonomous.
UK MCC churches include:
- MCC East London
- Living Springs ECC (Bath)
- Journey MCC (Birmingham)
- River of Life MCC (Dorchester)
- MCC North London
- MCC South London
- MCC Manchester
- MCC Newcastle
- MCC Bournemouth
- MCC Brighton
- MCC Torbay and Plymouth
The former MCC Edinburgh has merged with the Augustine United Church.
