Since its founding in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) has been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements by addressing important issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and other forms of oppression.  MCC has been on the forefront in the struggle towards marriage equality in the US and other countries worldwide and continues to be a powerful voice in the LGBT equality movement.  MCC’s ministry is provided primarily through over 200 local congregations located in over 40 countries.

The Office of Formation and Leadership Development (OFLD) serves the prospective pastoral leadership of Metropolitan Community Churches and provides educational and spiritual formation opportunities for all members of the MCC and their friends.
