You don’t have to attend a Metropolitan Community Church to join our online community of spiritual activists (click here for information).
Small Groups
Small Groups are about “doing life together” and thus helping each other to grow spiritually. They are places where, in the context of warm and caring community, we grow in our capacity to love God and others through the conversations we share and the loving acceptance we experience in these groups.
Life is a journey of constant change and renewal, in which we learn and grow through all the experiences of life, whether they are wonderful or horrible, or somewhere in between! We need to journey together on this road.
This is a great way for you to develop friendships and to become connected to the community. You don’t have to attend MCC to be a part of any of these groups and each group offers its own experience.
Belonging
People come to church longing for, yearning, hoping for…a sense of roots, place belonging, sharing and caring. People come to a church with a search for community, not committee.
