MCC Seattle and the Historic MCC Denomination
Emerald City MCC Seattle has served the Seattle area for over 51 years in affiliation with the Metropolitan Community Churches.
The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches was founded in 1968 by Reverend Troy Perry, specifically to minister to the needs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) community at a time when other Christian denominations were not open and affirming. The LGBTQ+ community has an ongoing need to approach God without shame or second-class status.
Today, our ministry continues our longstanding tradition of teaching Queer and Womanist theologies, as we now specifically focus on ministry with transgender folx and with all those deconstructing and reconstructing their faith.
You Are truly Welcome Here
Emerald City MCC Seattle meets for worship at 11:30 a.m. each Sunday at the Wesley Club, 1414 NE 42nd St #202, Seattle, WA 98105 (15th AVE ENTRANCE!) and on FB Live.
Holy Communion / Eucharist is offered at all worship services and everyone is invited to participate. During our services, you will experience a variety of worship music that reflects the eclectic history of the MCC churches. We use gender-inclusive language in hymns, prayers, and readings. Our pastor’s sermons often question the scriptures from the viewpoint of the Queer Community to which we belong.
Our worship services last about one hour, followed by a time of fellowship and snacks or a meal afterward.
We would love to have you worship with us!
