About Us

Mission

Love Metropolitan Community church is a friendly and welcoming group of folk. Are you seeking out or have a desire to transform your spiritual life? We may be the place you can be yourself and journey together with us.  

Love MCC was founded in 1978 in Las Vegas, and have been working to reach those who are seeking to grow in their spiritual journey. For over 45 years, we have held services to experience the Holy in new and creative ways. We are not like other churches! Many of our people have come from backgrounds that say they are unloved, or even worse, hated by those around them. Some have faced rejection from their biological families, because of who they express themselves to be authentically, or because of whom they love and spend their lives in love. We know first hand that the love of Christ, can break through barriers and restore folks to a loving relationship with our Creator and with others.

Values

We often hear about people having a concern for the lack of 'family values' or 'morality' others have in their relationships. However, we have found those who speak of 'family values', often forget that the most important “law” that was spoken about in biblical and sacred texts was the "royal law of love" found in James 2:8.

Jesus taught us to “Love Our Neighbor". Many religious leaders say they have love, but their actions do not match their rhetoric. At Love MCC our greatest moral value is "Love". We believe that God loved us so much that Christ Jesus was given in our place, to die for us, and to offer us an eternal life with our creator. We are guided by this example of perfect love. It is because of God's love for us that we are here to share this good news with our community.

To know love is to know peace, hope and joy. We sincerely ask that as you seek for this truth in your journey, you would do so with us.

Our Core Values

• Inclusion

Love is our greatest moral value, and practicing inclusion is a primary focus of our ministry. We want to continue to be the conduits of a faith where everyone is included in the family of God, and where all parts of our being are welcomed at God’s table.

• Community

We offer a safe place and an open community for people to worship, learn and grow in their faith. We are committed to equipping ourselves, and each other to do the work that God has called us to do in the world.

• Spiritual Transformation

Our ministry is guided by a deep desire to share a message that is liberating and free from the oppressive religious environment of our day, and is uplifting to those experiencing God for the first time. We believe that when people are invited to experience God through the life and ministry of Christ, lives will be transformed.

Our History

We belong to the denomination of Metropolitan Community Church. Our local church Love Metropolitan Community Church of Las Vegas (Love MCC), formerly MCCLV, has been in the city since 1978. Like all MCC churches ours is an open and affirming congregation, made up of individuals. You are welcome regardless of your gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, relationship status, color, or ability. All are welcome. Love MCC continues to meet together so that we may teach and practice unconditional love and inclusivity.

Locally, our church has been a vital part of the Las Vegas Community for over 45 years. Our church believes that the Love of God can reach into the heart of all people. We believe that Jesus Christ is the revelation of God's love is for, “Whosoever believes” (John 3:16)

We understand that it may be uncomfortable to try out something new, especially a church for the first time. Our church welcomes new people every week. However, we can be a social group and creating a welcoming worship space is important to us. You may have a member greet you with hello, shake your hand, or offer to introduce you to others. While no church is “perfect,” our church has been commissioned by Christ to share our message of love and acceptance. We believe that all people can participate in a community of faith, to love God without fear or shame, and grow into a confident follower of Christ.

Come to our church. Everyone is Welcome. Love is not exclusive. Grace is real. Forgiveness and reconciliation are possible.
