Originally founded as the Community Church of Boston on September 10, 1972, MCC Boston was one of the first communities of faith in the Boston area to affirm the full membership and worth of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer people. MCC Boston’s Christian message of God’s love for all—regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity—is just as valid today as it was in 1972. The Metropolitan Community Church of Boston is one of the oldest continuing congregations in the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches worldwide (UFMCC).

At the time of MCC Boston’s founding, the denomination was only four years old, with the first MCC having been founded in Los Angeles in California on October 6, 1968. Only one MCC in the northeast U.S. is older—MCC New York, which was founded earlier in 1972.

MCC Boston had its origins in a rap group that began in July 1972, and then gathered together as an MCC mission congregation in September 1972.
