 In
1968, before the Stonewall Riots and the Christopher Street Parades, the
Reverend Troy Perry founded
Metropolitan
Community Church of Los Angeles
to serve the spiritual needs of gay and lesbian people. His action was
revolutionary and transformational.
Since that time, Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches has
stood in the face of adversity serving as a safe haven for those rejected by
other religious communities and becoming an essential, life-affirming link
in the chain of lesbian and gay identity and affiliation.
 Local Metropolitan Community
churches have been the birthplace of dozens of different gay and lesbian
organizations and projects across the world, and have played a vital role in
the development of the global gay and lesbian community.
We are now a denomination of 300+ churches
all across the world. In cities large and small, these churches frequently
play a pivotal role in their communities advocating for justice and fighting
homophobia.
