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 afternoons at 1 p.m. to renew your spirit.

Come visit us at our new location! Beginning May 1, we will be meeting at First Congregational United Church of Christ, located at 1220 NE 68th St. Vancouver, WA 98665. Sup and Meet will still be held at 6:30 p.m. and all other services will be held at the regular times, with a slight change for Martha's Pantry, which will open on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. instead of 10. Please come rejoice with us in our new church home!
