Resurrection MCC
HistoryThe seeds for MCC ministry in Houston were planted in the winter of 1971-1972. These seeds took root in December of 1972, when meetings were started on a regular basis in a rented apartment in Preston Villa. On the second Sunday of February in 1974, the MCC group moved to a former bicycle repair shop on Waugh Drive, with fourteen people in attendance. By June of 1974, a group of twenty-five submitted signatures to UFMCC headquarters in Los Angeles petitioning for mission status, which was granted. As we celebrate 45 years of ministry in 2017, we are thankful for those first members of Resurrection MCC who had the audacity to imagine that a church of Resurrection MCC's magnitude was possible. Just as those early founders believed, so today's congregation believes, that through mature faith and commitment, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the grace of God, Resurrection MCC will continue to experience increased spiritual growth and attendance.SpecialtiesServices: Sundays, 9 & 11 am Spanish Interpretation: Sundays, 11 am Nursery: Sundays, 9 & 11 am Children & Youth: Sundays, 11 am Deaf Interpretation: Sundays, 11 am Resurrection MCC is a Christian church widely known for proclaiming God's inclusive love for all people, its positive, affirming ministry to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, along with their friends, families and allies, and for its strong commitment to social justice.
