Our Mission Statement

“The Metropolitan Community Church of Our Redeemer is a Christian Community extending God’s inclusive love by affirming hope, healing, and spiritual growth through worship, discipleship, outreach, and fellowship.”

MCC Core Values

Inclusion

  • Love is our greatest moral value and resisting exclusion is a primary focus of our ministry. We want to continue to be the conduits of a faith where everyone is included in the family of God and where all parts of our being are welcomed at God’s table.

Community

  • Offering a safe and open community for people to worship, learn and grow in their faith is our deep desire. We are committed to equipping ourselves and each other to do the work that God has called us to do in the world.

Spiritual Transformation

  • Providing a message of liberation from the oppressive religious environment of our day or to those experiencing God for the first time is what guides our ministry. We believe that when people are invited to experience God through the life and ministry of Christ, lives will be transformed.

Social Action

  • Working to talk less and do more, we are committed to resisting the structures that oppress people and standing with to those who suffer under the weight of oppressive systems, being guided always by our commitment to global human rights.

MCC Statement of Faith

We believe…

  • In one triune God, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, of one substance and of three persons: God – our Parent-Creator; Jesus Christ – the only begotten son of God, God in flesh, human; and the Holy Spirit – God as our Sustainer.
  • That the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God, showing forth God to every person through the law and the prophets, and finally, completely and ultimately on earth in the being of Jesus Christ.
  • That Jesus ..the Christ.. historically recorded as living some 2,000 years before this writing, is God incarnate, of human birth, fully God and fully human, and that by being one with God, Jesus has demonstrated once and forever that all people are likewise Children of God, being spiritually made in God’s image.
  • That the Holy Spirit is God making known God’s love and interest to all people. The Holy Spirit is God, available to and working through all who are willing to place their welfare in God’s keeping.
  • Every person is justified by grace to God through faith in Jesus Christ.
  • We are saved from loneliness, despair and degradation through God’s gift of grace, as was declared by our Savior.  Such grace is not earned, but is a pure gift from a God of pure love.  We further commend the community of the faithful to a life of prayer to seek genuine forgiveness for unkind, thoughtless and unloving acts’ and to a committed life of Christian service.
  • The Church serves to bring all people to God through Christ.  To this end, it shall arrange for regular services of worship, prayer, interpretation of the Scriptures, and edification through the teaching and preaching of the Word.
