Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans

A nonprofit organization

MCC New Orleans is a welcoming and holy place where everyone--with a particular outreach to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and marginalized communities--can worship, and celebrate God's love for all people. We build community in Greater New Orleans through service projects to help those in need, and we support equal rights in our practice and thru the United Fellowship of Metropolitan Churches--now in 20 countries and organizations worldwide.

MCC New Orleans celebrated its 51st Year Anniversary last year. We have been at the forefront of standing up for and promoting equal rights for the LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities locally, nationally, and internationally through our parent organization, the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches. Whether it is standing up for equality, caring for those with HIV/AIDS, reaching out to the marginalized and homeless youth, elderly housing, supporting local LGBTQ+ organizations and causes, MCC New Orleans works tirelessly to bring God's love to everyone by using our words, feet, hands and resources. We provide live broadcasts of our Sunday Morning Worship to people around the world on Facebook Live and post those services on our Website for later viewing. During the Covid pandemic, we also provided hurricane relief to to victims of Hurricane Ida in Houma and South Lafourche Parish, raised funds and donated to food distribution programs targeting the LGBTQ community and the local food bank, and provided Christmas dinners and presents for families living with HIV/AIDS. MCC New Orleans also provides support through the Universal Fellowship of MCC to programs like the Rainbow Railroad, a program run through Toronto, Canada MCC, to help people escape to safety and relocate to countries they choose because their lives are in imminent danger just for being gay, lesbian or transgender. The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches has churches in 20 countries and is working around the world for the rights of LGBTQ+ people and to support marginalized communities. Whether it is during our regular Sunday Worship or working out in the community, our mission has always been to affirm God's love for everyone regardless of who they are or where they are in life. We look forward to increased opportunities to support our community during our 51st year year with the generous support of our donors.
