MCC Baltimore is a resource and worship center that seeks to engage, equip, and empower God’s people to make a difference in the world.
MCC Baltimore is an affiliate congregation of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches. Members and friends of MCC come from every conceivable Christian tradition, and because of this, we make every effort to embrace various expressions in engaging the Divine. This engagement includes various liturgical forms such as blended music (e.g. high praise, contemplative worship, contemporary gospel, and hymn music) as well as, various religious sacraments and rites. All of which focus our attention on the God who loves us. We pride ourselves in being an open and affirming ministry who affirm all God’s people and welcome all into God’s house. To acknowledge the many manifestations of God as Mother/Father, Creator, and Sustainer, we utilize inclusive language in our trainings, music and prayers. We also attempt to make our worship “user friendly” to those who have not been in worship for many years, so come, join and experience MCC Baltimore’s worship encounter!
In 1968, the LGBTQ+ community was starting to thrive in cities throughout the United States, forming social hangouts and safe spaces away from a society that largely did not understand them. Rev. Troy Perry saw a need for a place of worship where the misunderstood and condemned could find acceptance for their sexuality without forsaking their religious or political beliefs. In pursuit of this mission, Rev. Troy Perry gathered along with twelve other LGBTQ people and civil rights advocates in Los Angeles, California, equipped with his knowledge of the ministry, and started a religious group around the concept of openness, acceptance of identity and self, and a love of God. This small group would grow into Metropolitan Community Church and spread from city to city to become a global organization.
At MCC Baltimore, we believe that our call to worship, our commitment to inclusion, and our compassion for all God’s creations drive us to act for a better Baltimore.
