Here you are encouraged to be fully who you are.

Here you are accepted, valued, and encouraged to grow into the complete individual that God wants you to be.

Here you can forget about the barriers that still divide so many parts of our society.

Here you are invited, just as you are, to join us, just as we are, in a mutual journey of love, support and respect.

Metropolitan Community Church Anchorage is on a mission to spread acceptance, hope and love to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered community right here in Anchorage.

Traditional churches have caused many GLBT individuals much pain and grief, leaving them without a place to worship freely. Many GLBT individuals are told that God does not accept their identities. We are here to tell them differently.

Nobody at MCC Anchorage is perfect, but we are a people who care greatly for our community and take great comfort in knowing that there are others like us in desperate need of acceptance and healing in our lives. It is through enduring our own trials that we at MCC Anchorage are able to offer comfort to others.

For many years, Anchorage Alaska has been embroiled in heated debate regarding equality issues as they pertain to the GLBT community. This past year, the GLBT community was been deeply affected by the rhetoric of many fundamentalist Christian churches and local media sources. The deep divisions stemming from anti-discrimination legislation (AO-64) has increased the numbers of individuals in our community who are searching for safe and accepting havens. Metropolitan Community Church of Anchorage has served as one such haven.

There is a great and loving God who is rich in mercy, great in compassion and who created you whole and complete. A God who is concerned about you and who wants to be involved in every aspect of your life regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity.

Statement of Faith
This is the simple declaration of what MCC believes, as stated in our By-Laws, and accepted by our General Conference:

“Christianity is the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and is the religion set forth in the scriptures. Jesus Christ is foretold in the Old Testament, presented in the New Testament, and proclaimed by the Christian Church in every age and in every land.

Founded in the interest of offering a church home to all who confess and believe, Metropolitan Community Churches moves in the mainstream of Christianity.

Our faith is based upon the principles outlined in the historic creeds: Apostles and Nicene.

We believe:

-In one triune God, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, of one substance and of three persons: God – our Parent-Creator; Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God, God in flesh, human; and the Holy Spirit – God as our Sustainer.

-That the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, showing forth God to every person through the law and the prophets, and finally, completely and ultimately on earth in the being of Jesus Christ.

-That Jesus…the Christ…historically recorded as living some 2,000 years before this writing, is God incarnate, of human birth, fully God and fully human, and that by being one with God, Jesus has demonstrated once and forever that all people are likewise Children of God, being spiritually made in God’s image.

-That the Holy Spirit is God making known God’s love and interest to all people. The Holy Spirit is God, available to and working through all who are willing to place their welfare in God’s keeping.

-Every person is justified by grace to God through faith in Jesus Christ.
