Metropolitan Congregation (MCC)
We are a Christ-centred congregation which serves, celebrates and affirms the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities of Manchester and North West England.
Our trans members play a full and active part in our ministry, leading worship, celebrating Holy Communion, welcoming others, preaching, and taking part in the government of church. People may dress as they please and we provide care and support for people at all stages in their journey. Our trans members are particularly skilled at helping and encouraging other trans people as they explore their identities. Our whole church welcomes everyone who comes without bias or prejudice. Many of our members are lesbian, bisexual or gay and know from their own experience about the pain of coming to terms with who they really are.

Metropolitan Congregation (MCC) - LGBTQI+ Support
We are a Christ-centred congregation which serves, celebrates and affirms the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) communities of Manchester and North West England.
All are welcome.
Our services are celebrative yet thoughtful and aim to appeal to folk from a range of different church backgrounds as well as to those for whom spirituality is new.
We offer a place to explore Christian spirituality and help people live the Christian faith in ways which make sense in our contemporary society.
We are a friendly church and after worship - which usually lasts around one hour - everyone is invited to stay for refreshments and a chat.
For many years our congregation was part of the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) - an American-based lgbt denomination, but we are now one of the two worshipping congregations of Wilbraham St Ninian's United Reformed Church.
How to access
We meet in Chorlton, about 4 miles south of Manchester city centre, we are easily accessible by Metrolink and bus services, and we offer a warm welcome to all our services and events.
