Metropolitan Community Church has a new home. We have just purchased the old Hilan Theatre. This facility will provide space for our worship services, Christian education, rap sessions, movies, church dinners, dances, committee meetings, counseling sessions, and job-housing referral service!

Now that we have a place of our own - expansion is next. M.C.C. would like to see a twenty-four hour crisis center housed in our building, a part- time health clinic/referral agency, and a full-time secretary and job counseling staff.

All of this means well thought out plans and willing hands to work! Above all, we need the finances to turn our dreams into reality!!!!!! OUR dreams - yours and mine!
