Let’s give you some background history. MCC was founded in 1968 by Reverend Troy Perry in Los Angeles. Since then, MCC has become internationally recognised for its major role in progressive Christian worship, social justice and human rights activism.
Today over 50000 people worship in MCCs around the world.
In the words of our current Moderator, Reverend Nancy Wilson, MCC “tears down walls and builds up hope”.
MCC Sydney has run for over 35 years. We have built a house of worship for the loud and proud, the lost, the lonely and the enquiring alike. We have welcomed those with families and those without. We have catered to women and men who have felt alienated by other churches.

We have supported beloved friends who are living with HIV. We have welcomed refugees, new migrants and visitors from abroad.
Since the late 90’s we have been blessed to own our own permanent place of worship, including our main worship space, known as the Sanctuary, and our adjoining Community Room. At first, you might not think that our building looks like a church. In fact, it was built to be exactly that, over half a century ago. Over the decades, however, it has served many purposes, functioning as both a pianola factory and a public hall. MCC has reclaimed it as a place of worship and renovated it, building our tranquil Sanctuary and soundproofing it against the traffic and noise of the outside world.
You could say we have been involved in spiritual renovation and renewal ever since.
