“GOD LOVES YOU AND ACCEPTS YOU, JUST AS YOU ARE”

 

 

The church is based on the desire to follow the transformational example of Metropolitan Community Churches, which had begun in USA when Rev Troy Perry held the first MCC service in his living room in Los Angeles on the 6th October 1968.

Metropolitan Churches accept Jesus as our role model, and we preach Jesus' Gospel of love and acceptance.

 

Modern Biblical scholarship throws new light on the traditional “Texts of Terror” which have been used to condemn homosexuals and homosexuality.

 

Professor Virginia Mollenkott tells us to “Accept our sexuality as a gift from God, and then live it responsibly”. As our sexuality is from God, what right has anyone to make it a burden to us? Jesus didn’t! Don’t let anyone separate us from the love of God.

 

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Intersex and Questioning (GLBTIQ) people have been excluded and persecuted by parts of the mainstream Christian Church.

The Gospels record that Jesus mixed with, accepted and promoted the cause of those that the society of his time rejected and despised. Jesus lost favour with the religious leaders of his day because of his social justice and anti-discrimination stance.

Jesus accepted all people.
