"We are a community of LGBTQIA+ folx and allies embodying the liberating heart of Jesus where everyone is invited to come as you are, believing as you do. We strive to be a hub for the entire LGBTQIA+ community, creating a liberating movement within and beyond our church walls. Together, we commit to racial and social justice while embodying an optimistic hope for the future. We invite you to bring your full self to unite your spirituality, sexuality, gender identity, and heart for justice." "Often people come to MCC in search of a loving spiritual home to heal from religious trauma of their past or of our society. As a great way to find out if this spiritual community might be a place you can find connection, we encourage you to watch online or join a program as a way to cross the threshold into the vulnerability of community. You can also reach out to a pastor to ask questions to understand more about the community. MCC holds weekly worship in person in South City at 7425 Michigan Ave at 11am and online at [mccgsl.org/live](https://mccgsl.org/live). For those more interested in a nature-based spirituality, join us for Rugged Spirituality where we engage in contemplative practice, readings, and discussion while we hike. We hike in various places throughout the area on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month. To sign up for Rugged Spirituality or other programs, visit: [mccgsl.org/programs](https://mccgsl.org/programs)."
