MCC

The Metropolitan Community Church of New Haven

Welcome!  

We are an inclusive Christian community of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people, our families and friends.  Our church has been active since 1977.  We are one of about 300 Metropolitan Community Churches in 22 countries around the world, a denomination founded in 1968 by the Rev. Troy Perry.

As we celebrate our 30th Anniversary this year, we have so much to be grateful for.  Not only do we celebrate the rich history we share together - but the vision we have for our future.  As we move forward with our plans to build The Metropolitan Community of Faith, 2007-2008 will be the launch of a new day that will fulfill our hopes and dreams as a loving spiritual community.

Social Connection

          Having a place for fellowship is central to the nourishment of our communities.  Rich and profound relationships are rooted in ongoing communication and connection.  Our new space will allow for people to take the much needed time to share their joys, celebrations and challenges.


Our Services:
Each Sunday we are blessed to hear the word of a host of talented Pastors and volunteer speakers leading us in our mission. We also look forward to welcoming a new Senior Pastor in the near future.

Our Music Ministry:
MCC New Haven has become well known in CT and throughout the MCC denomination for our wonderful Music Ministry.  We are unique in that we present our own original music created by Music Director Beth Styles and performed by our fabulous choir.  Recordings and Sheet Music for our original Hymns, Processionals, Prepare & Response, Anthems, Offertory, Holiday & Seasonal Music, are available here for purchase. Just click on this link: MCC ORIGINAL MUSIC

Our Mission:
We are Community. This is a place where friends are made, where support is shared, a place for caring. We attempt to meet human needs great and small. Although open to anyone who wishes to be part of us, we are the church of the lesbian and gay community, and it is here that we focus our ministry. We believe that God is present in all loving relationships, and that sexuality, including lesbian and gay sexuality, is a gift from God.

We are a Christian Church. We believe that God loves all people. We believe that the life and teaching of Jesus Christ is relevant to us today, and we affirm the presence of the risen Christ continuing to heal, challenge and comfort us.

Our Mission Statement:

  • celebrate God's unconditional love,
  • care for one another,
  • cultivate our faith and
  • carry God's justice to the world.

Caring

There are many ways that the people of MCC New Haven care for each other through many ministries including the Care Team, the Worship Team, the Music Ministry and Gospel Choir.
