Welcome to MCC NOVA!

Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia is committed to creating a vital and adventurous spiritual community for all people, preparing for our work in the world through an engaged and growing spirituality that is relevant 24/7. We are a welcoming and affirming progressive spiritual community with a specific outreach to LGBTQI people and our allies who are seeking authentic spirituality and renewal through varied celebration experiences, educational and social enrichment opportunities, and tangible expressions of love through social justice and outreach opportunities.

Whether you are a current member, attender, or a old friend, we would love to see you.
Our worship begins Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m.

Be sure to check the coming events page for happenings in our community!


2022 MCC NoVA Stewardship Looking Forward!

A New Year ~ New Possibilities
MCC NoVA’s vision for the future is to continue outreach and ministry to marginalized communities,
and to become an LGBTIQQ Community Center in the Heart of Fairfax City!

As the church looks toward next year, we definitely understand the shifting financial landscape for our community. We are also aware of the many possibilities that stretch out ahead of us in 2022.

A financial Pledge does not obligate you, but rather it provides a hopeful idea of potential community growth and involvement, and helps the church prepare a budget to make the most of our resources and better allocate funding.

Think of your pledge as HOPE for the future, with the possibility of making it real.
2022 MCC NoVA Pledge Sheet

PS: You don’t need to be a member of this church in order to be a part of our community and support its ministry! 🙂
