MCC of the Gentle Shepherd

History of MCC of the Gentle Shepherd

On Oct. 6, 1968, The Rev. Troy Perry conducted the first Metropolitan Community Church worship service in Southern California. Since that day, MCC has grown into a global movement proclaiming the Good News of God’s love for all people.

Today, as self-aware and self-affirming Christians, we reclaim the fullness of our humanity, including our spirituality. We find great truths in the religious tradition, and we find that our encounter with God is transformational and healing. Gentle Shepherd is proud to be a Metropolitan Community Church.

Join us Sunday afternoon at 12:30 to renew your spirit!

MCC of the Gentle Shepherd is a community of people of faith that welcomes everyone and we really mean it! We meet at Vancouver United Church of Christ at 12:30 p.m. for our interfaith service. The location is 1220 NE 68th St., Vancouver, WA 98665.

During this time of the potential transmission of the Covid-19 virus, we have discontinued our 12:30 Sunday Service. 

Though this is a time of physical distancing, let us stay connected by as many other means as possible. We need each other during times like these (maybe more than any other). Please feel free to call 360-695-1480 to leave a prayer request or if you just want to talk, leave a message and someone will get back to you.
