MCC Metropolitan Community Churc

Transitions are a normal part of life. As the writer of Ecclesiastes said "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." MCCDC is at the crossroads of one of those important transitions in the life of our faith community. Our former Senior Pastor has accepted another position and we have begun the process of transitioning to new pastoral leadership.

We want you to be fully informed at each step along the way. We will post documents related to this transition here and add to, or update, them from time to time. We hope this information will be helpful to our members and friends and will help you to discern how God is moving in our midst.
