Christians at Pride Celebration Service
Join us for a special Pride Celebration Service on Saturday 5th July as we come together in faith, love and solidarity. Doors open at 1pm, with refreshments available before and after the service. Everyone is welcome, come as you are! Whether you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply curious, you’ll find a warm and inclusive space here. Let’s celebrate diversity and the message that God’s love is for all.
Unified In Love Conference – 5th October
There are many churches and Christian communities dedicated to inclusion and justice, as central to the gospel of Christ. Now more than ever, we need to come toegther, stand by each other, and amplify each others’ message. Brought together by The Regeneration Project, 2:23, MCC, House of Rainbow and others, this day conference will focus on how we are active allies to each other: whether in matters of sexuality, gender, race, disability or other, we can and must be unified in love.
Membership Classes and Fellowship Sunday
Fellowship Sunday is on 6th October, when we celebrate the global Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, speaking up for inclusion and human rights and blessing same-sex relatinships and gender variation since 1968!
It’s also a day when we welcome new members into MCC North London. Membership classes on 1st and 8th September at 4pm, are a chance to find out more about MCC, our values, organisation, beliefs and work. Coming to classes doesn’t commit you to becoming a member, but if you want to join the membership roll and make a public commitment that this is the church to which you wish to belong, then you do need to come to both classes, so that you are fully informed about your decision – we’re all about free and informed consent here at MCCNL, in all things!
Worship this Sunday takes place at UK Black Pride.
This Sunday 11th August, we will not be having a service at Bloomsbury CBC, because we will be worshipping, volunteering and fellowshipping at UK Black Pride in Stratford, alongside our siblings from House of Rainbow and others. See you there!

Palm Sunday Picnic and Music – Sunday 2nd April 1pm-5pm.
Palm Sunday is a traditional time to take church out of the doors of the building and into the streets.

There will be a full dinner, as well as a remembrance of the last supper Jesus shared with his friends, and all that happened on that evening. (Please confirm if you are coming, so we know how much to cook).
