Being Christian isn't a one-day a week thing. We encourage our members to dig deeper into their faith through mid-week discipleship groups and bible studies.
Be part of a group or sign up to be part of our next discipleship group.
Our Typical Weekend Service
Fellowship
After the morning or evening service we invite everyone to join together for fellowhip in our community room over coffee, tea, finger food, and snacks. During this time we announce who's having a birthday that week & celebrate.
What People Say About Us
Sydney Star Observer (SSO) interviewed Peter Webster one of our members in 2015:
SSO: "As LGBTI people become more accepted in heterosexual society, why should places like MCC Sydney continue to exist?"
“We could go to a gay-friendly church, and there’s a number of them, and we can take communion. (But) We can’t do it together. We can’t kiss. We can’t hold hands. No matter how open and affirming, and that’s the official term, ‘affirming’, churches are, there are limits.”
“In MCC Sydney, my partner and I take communion,” Webster said.
“We go down there together. We hold hands. We give each other the bread and the wine. We kiss. Then we go for prayer with the pastor… then at the end of that we kiss again".

Why I Choose To Belong To
MCC Sydney
Dave Lee found MCC Sydney & learnt about "True" Christianity in 2015 after struggled with his identity as a Christian & being gay.
Loss, hurt, & outcasted by his church & fellow Christians really shatered his life. Nevertheless, young Dave perseveres in believing in Christ & as a person with critical mind & reasoning skill he kept searching answer instead of easily accept what his old church told him. Which lead him to MCCS door. Enlightenment.
Since then Dave becomes one of our active members online & offline. His thirst in knowledge enrolls him to our Bible study. His kind heart leads him to care to other vulnerable members through BeUpheld/ Stephen Ministry Program.
Together, We Can Change The World
Brad Scanlan is one of our congregants, he is a recently retired police sergeant who served three decades with @nswpolice.
When Brad joined the force back in the late 80s, gay hate crimes and homophobic attitudes were rife. While he knew the relationship between police and the LGBT community was fraught, Brad was eager to combat issues from the inside.
