Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) around the world reach out to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Communities to communicate the power of God's unconditional love. MCC of Greater St. Louis (MCCGSL), as a welcoming and affirming Christian community, opens it doors to all of God's children and seeks to equip all for ministry to our troubled world. As an open and affirming church, we have members of every imaginable denominational background, who worship, learn and grow together in Christian faith.

We strive for our Christian church community to reflect the diversity of God’s creation. We wish for our church congregation to be a microcosm of the larger St. Louis community in its demographic make up of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and culture. MCCGSL provides a safe environment to explore what the Bible says regarding homosexuality and what it does not say. The Bible has been used to condemn homosexuality thereby excluding some of God’s beloved children from God’s table. Many of us grew up in religious environments that, because of our sexual orientation or gender identity, oppressed and condemned us.

But we believe that every person is created in God’s image and likeness. MCC of Greater St. Louis seeks to share the liberating and life-giving message of Christ with our larger St. Louis community. If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning these facets of your identity, we welcome and affirm you. Or, if you simply believe that God loves all people equally regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, you also are welcome to worship with us!
