Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans, LGBTQ-inclusive church in New Orleans, United States
The Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans is a church building located on South Claiborne Avenue that serves people seeking spiritual community. It holds regular Sunday services and makes its worship available through digital platforms so more people can participate.
The church emerged in the early 1970s as a new spiritual community for those seeking acceptance. A devastating fire in 1973 took many lives including the pastor, an event that deeply shaped the congregation's journey.
The church welcomes people from the LGBTQ community who may feel excluded elsewhere, creating a space where they belong. Members actively engage in social justice work that reflects their values and beliefs.
Services take place on Sunday mornings at a set time, and the community welcomes visitors to join in person. If you cannot attend physically, recordings are shared online so you can participate from home.
The congregation created a dedicated activity center specifically designed to support adults living with HIV. This space offers targeted programs and community connection that many visitors overlook when thinking about the church.
