St John’s Metropolitan Community Church

If you’re a spiritual person who just happens to be fed up with people using the Bible to oppress gay folk, then you might just consider St. John’s MCC your saving grace. I know that I do.
The Metropolitan Community Churches denomination is known as one that originated for the LGBT community, but being a different-​gender-​loving (straight) woman who is a steadfast LGBT ally, I feel right at home in this church.
There are special things happening at St. Johns — lives are being transformed here all of the time. There is an 845am service that is more traditional in style, and the 11am service is contemporary worship. Ethnically, St, Johns is a beautiful mix of races and backgrounds. I was raised Roman Catholic, and I have gotten to know and understand more about the backgrounds of my fellow members who come from Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Jehovah Witness, and other religious backgrounds. The sincerity with which the deacons, pastors, and friends at St. Johns pray for and with me/​us is something that has completely transformed my outlook on christian spirituality. The place reeks of LOVE, and there is always someone willing to pray with you and guide you in a positive direction. Bible study group on Tuesday is always informational and inspirational. I can’t say enough about how great this church is.
