Extractions: "How Majestic is Thy name" [Play Sound] Anyone who has been around Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) for any period of time will undoubtedly notice that MCC strives to be inclusive in its language that is, not limiting God or human beings to one gender, one race, or any other human category. Those who have been around MCC for a while and have the occasion to visit a church of a different denomination, such as for a family visit, wedding, or funeral, often have the experience of feeling slapped in the face with all the male imagery still used in that church, with God always being referred to as "He" and "Father," and much use of "man," "mankind," "sons," "brothers," etc. Have you had that experience? A common testimony of MCC members is that when they first came to MCC, they had a teeny-tiny God, and that God has grown and grown. It is not only our conceptions of God that expand, however, but also our understanding of ourselves, our understanding of other people, and our understanding of what the church is. To be spiritually growing and maturing, our image and understanding of God and ourselves should always be expanding. We need to leave behind our limited, inadequate "gods" and embrace the one true God, who is much more than we could ever imagine. To express our expanding understanding of God and ourselves, our words need to start catching up.

Extractions: Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches In 1968, twelve gay men and lesbians met in the light of day to worship God openly. Rev. Troy D. Perry founded the Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles, the first congregation of our movement. MCC Los Angeles has gone through more than its share of trials throughout the years. In the early years, it was frequently forced to move to new locations, as landlords discovered who they were. In 1973, a fire of suspicious origin burned the church to the ground. In 1994, just after extensive renovations had been completed, their building was destroyed by the devastating Northridge earthquake. The Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles is currently led by Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson, who recently celebrated her 10th year as their Senior Pastor. MCCLA has long been recognized for its role in nurturing and developing organizations in the gay and lesbian community. It has always believed that the future of the gay and lesbian community is dependent on the wholeness and health of its spiritual, cultural, and educational institutions. Its members have participating in founding, and have provided leadership, volunteer support, and financial support to scores of organizations including Christopher Street West, Caring for Babies With AIDS, the Free Spirit Metropolitan Community Church prison ministry at the California Institute for Women, Unity Fellowship, and Temple Beth Chayim Chadashim, a synagogue for gay men and lesbians. This tradition continues today.

http://www.libchrist.com/other/homosexual/ufmcc.html

Extractions: Note: Liberated Christians is a primarily about heterosexual relationships. While we are supportive of all sexual orientations, the leaders do not have the resources to assist them in their special issues. Thus, our Fellowship groups are not appropriate for gays/lesbians. However, individually Dave (an extreme heterosexual - Kinsey Scale= 0) has done extensive biblical research and has been active supporting biblical homosexuality for many years. However, there is no "official" stand as an organization on homosexuality other than general support. The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches plays a vital role in addressing the spiritual needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community around the world. For those of us who were raised in a religious atmosphere, homosexuality was usually associated with shame and guilt. As a result, many of us were cut off from the spiritual dimension of our lives. Metropolitan Community Churches provide an opportunity to explore a spiritual experience that affirms who we are.

Extractions: There's no place like home... Metropolitan Community Church of Tampa (MCC Tampa) is a dynamic and growing Christian Church, located in the heart of Central Tampa. We are in full communion with the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC). We have been serving the Spiritual needs of the GLBT community since 1971 and are proud to be the seventh church to incorporate in this fellowship. We anticipate the marvelous things God is doing in our midst and we are committed to provide a place were you can be yourself and experience a faith community that is relevant to your life in the 21st century. We believe that God's desire... for our lives is to know the unconditional love of God calling us to partner with the Holy Spirit to offer the experience of transformation! We covenant with each other to learn, live and teach the first two commandments proclaimed in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ: to love ourselves, which in turns allows us to love our neighbors and to love our God. We are made aware that God's promises are as true and mighty today as when they were first proclaimed to humankind that if you will be my people, I will be your God (Leviticus 26:12). We are dedicated to creating a ministry centered culture through the commitment of shared responsibility that in turn creates trusting relationships of love, respect and appreciation for the diversity of our humanity.

Today, as self-aware and self-affirming gay men and lesbians, we reclaim the fullness of our humanity, including our spirituality. We find great truths in the religious tradition, and we find that our encounter with God is transformational and healing. Throughout the history of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, 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.

First MCC of Atlanta is a member of one of the world's fastest growing Christian denominations, the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches. Learn more about UFMCC. Rev. Paul Graetz , Senior Pastor Is MCC Still A Christ-Centered Movement? Our denomination has recently undergone a change. And, as with any change, there can be confusion and misunderstanding. The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (commonly called MCC) has witnessed incredible growth over the past several years. Indeed, we have become one of the worlds fastest growing Christian denominations. Our international growth, in particular, has been quite staggering. The MCC movement needed to change to better minister to our increasingly international faith efforts. We needed to change our internal structure to better serve our communities. Our denomination restructured itself from nation-specific districts to more inclusive international regions. Any change can be frightening. Church leaders, pastors and congregants alike may not understand (or simply be confused about) the reasons for restructuring our denomination and, at times, respond to the transition in fear. This fear can create even more misunderstandings, unfounded stories and rumors.
