Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto

MCC Toronto was established in 1973 as part of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches – a denomination and global LGBTQ2+ Christian movement. Today, MCC Toronto is a vibrant, inclusive, and progressive faith community and human rights church. With an average of 400 people attending worship every Sunday for three unique services in Non-COVID times and with a highly regarded Online Service during the COVID-19 pandemic; we have over 2000 adherents who participate in a myriad of mid-week programs. 

We are the spiritual home to people of many different religious backgrounds and beliefs, gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientations, racial and cultural backgrounds, countries of origin, socioeconomic realities, and abilities. MCC Toronto is rooted in the Christian tradition and the LGBTQ2+ community, and is growing into a nexus of inclusion, diversity and intersectionality. Our community includes people who identify as Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Catholic and Protestant and when we say, “all are welcome” we really mean it!   

MCC Toronto is also home to several lifesaving initiatives like The Triangle Program; North America’s longest running LGBTQ2+ High School in partnership with the Toronto District School Board since 1995. Our signature social justice initiative is the LGBTQ+ Refugee Programs which serves 800+ asylum seekers every year and has also sponsored over 60 refugees with the help of sponsorship teams as Canada’s only LGBTQ+ exclusive Sponsorship Agreement Holder with the Federal Government. Our ambition is to expand our Human Rights Programing in coming years as we push for equality and human rights for all.
