MCC Community Outreach
How We Serve God and the Community
In addition to providing an open house of worship for for ALL God's people, we work with various organizations in our community such as Lutheran Social Services to provide essential needs and assistance for our community. We support active involvement in community organizations such as those listed alphabetically below. We also inform and educate the general public about God and our church through particpation in community events. Alliance for Full Acceptance Alliance for Full Acceptance is a social justice organization which strives to achieve equality and acceptance for gay, lesbian, and transgender people. The organization consists of members who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual, uniting to eliminate prejudice based on sexual orientation.
