Our
Vision
and
Mission
At MCCBR, our heart beats with a simple yet powerful mission: Sharing love. Building community. Living out faith.
We believe love—real, deep, and active—is the greatest value of all. Everything we do flows from our call to:
-
Love God
-
Love others
-
Love ourselves
God’s love is abundant, extravagant, and everlasting—reaching each of us right where we are.
We are committed to living out our faith in practical ways—through acts of kindness, compassion, justice, and service. We believe that faith is not just something we talk about; it's something we live. Service is God's love, hope, and healing in action.
This is a place where you can:
-
Journey with God
-
Ask questions
-
Explore your faith
-
Find support
-
Grow in community
Whether you’re LGBTQ+, an ally, questioning, curious, or simply seeking a place to belong—you are welcome here. You are loved, affirmed, and celebrated.
​
Together, we’re building a safe, inclusive, and affirming community where everyone is free to be fully themselves.
Come as you are. You are welcome here. You are loved here.
We believe in the One, Triune God—God, Jesus, and Spirit—who is present with us, among us, and within us.
We affirm that:
-
Jesus is the Son of God, fully Divine and fully human.
-
He lived, died, was resurrected, and will come again.
-
The Bible is the Divinely inspired Word of God, a living text that continues to speak truth, love, and guidance into our lives today.
We believe:
-
All people are created in the image of God, each with purpose, beauty, and dignity.
-
God’s love breaks chains, offering healing, freedom, and hope.
-
No matter who you are or where you’ve been, God calls you beloved.
As a church rooted in and committed to the LGBTQ+ and ally communities, we stand with and for all people—especially those who have been marginalized, oppressed, or wounded by religion or society.
We are building a church where:
-
Love is more than a value—it’s our way of life.
-
Everyone is welcome, affirmed, and celebrated.
-
Faith is expressed through love, grace, and justice.
