Who We Are
MCC Lubbock is affiliated with the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches which is a denomination of approximately 300 churches in seventeen countries throughout the world. Our fellowship was founded in 1968 by Reverend Elder Troy Perry and eleven other men and women in a living room in Los Angeles. Our membership includes people from all denomination backgrounds and beliefs. We strive towards an inclusive attitude in our worship as an example of acceptance towards all people.

Our History
MCC Lubbock was founded in 1980 by a small group of people. They were seeking to begin a church where people could worship in freedom. MCC Lubbock grew from meeting in a living room to a sanctuary that seats approximately 200 today. We continue to be a church for all people and strive to provide an open atmosphere to learn of God's love.

Our Vision
The Vision of Metropolitan Community Church of Lubbock is to be the "Hub" of the GLBT community reaching West Texas and Eastern New Mexico with the good news of God’s inclusive love. By 2005, Metropolitan Community Church of Lubbock, with a membership of at least 250, will reflect the diversity of our community. As the "Hub", we will be the spiritual resource center, equipping God’s people for ministry with excellence and passion. Uniting together in Christ, we will provide an open atmosphere of worship, which will foster pride, acceptance, and hope by celebrating the dignity and worth of all people.

Our Commitment
We are committed to meeting human need in the name of Jesus Christ. We strive to be a loving Christian community which provides a place for worship, educational programs, ministries to meet people's needs, and social interactions with other Christians. Many find that God's love truly dwells in our congregation both inside and outside the church building.

What We Offer
MCC Lubbock celebrates communion at each Sunday service. We hold an open communion -- open to all, regardless of personal or religious background. Baptism is embraced by the church as a sign of dedication of one's life to God. The Sacrament of Baptism can be administered by total immersion, sprinkling, or pouring of water.

We also offer the celebration of six rites: membership, holy union or holy matrimony, funeral or memorial service, laying on of hands, blessing of a relationship, and ordination. If you have any questions concerning these, please contact the church office.
