Metropolitan Community Church of Detroit Bio

MCC Detroit first met in 1971 as a study group in the basement of one of its earlier leaders. In 1972 it became a Chartered Church in the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, a Protestant denomination founded in 1968 by Rev. Elder Troy Perry. MCC Detroit is one of the oldest GLBT organizations in Detroit.

The Church first met in the city of Detroit, moving to Birmingham in 1984. After selling that building, the Church moved to Roseville in 1989, then in 1993 moved to Ferndale where it is located today. MCC Detroit currently rents the original sanctuary from Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church.

MCC Detroit's current membership is at 107, excluding children, with a 50/50 percent female/male membership. The Church holds Children's Church every Sunday for the dozen or so children who attend.

This year MCC Detroit has formed new Ministry Teams called Rainbow Teams. These teams include outreach, inreach, and other ministries within the community.

Throughout its history, MCC Detroit has had several Pastors. The current Pastor is Rev. Mark G Bidwell who has been serving in that role since 1993.
