MCCNY: Home for the LGBT Community

            The Metropolitan Community Church of New York, located in Midtown West is a home and safe haven for the LGBT community. As a member of the denomination (founded in 1968), Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Church (UFMCC), MCCNY believes that God created certain people as LGBT and that it is a gift from God, not a sin. It is considered a progressive, gay-friendly church. Part of MCCNY’s mission statement says, “we believe all people can experience God’s liberating love, learn to live in right relationship with all creation, and gain the courage to change the world.”
