About Us!
Welcome to Circle Of Hope A Special Ministry Of
Metropolitan Community Churches.
Who are we?
We are a small but powerful ministry with an intimate atmosphere. Our ministry
has been in Portland, Maine for more than 10 years.
Our ministry is very small but is a member of the larger United Fellowship of
Metropolitan Community Churches (see their Web site http://mccchurch.org/).
An introductory paragraph from the U.F.M.C.C. web site says: Rev Troy D. Perry
founded Metropolitan Community Churches (M.C.C.) in 1968. This Fellowship
of Churches plays a vital role in addressing the spiritual needs of the lesbian,
gay, bisexual,and Trans gendered community around the world. For those of us
who were raised in a religious atmosphere, homosexuality was usually
associated with shame and guilt. As a result, many of us
were cut off from the spiritual dimension of our lives. Metropolitan Community
Churches provide an opportunity to explore a spiritual experience that affirms
who we are.
We do some outside events that we try to do during the seasons of spring, summer, and fall.
* A Monthly Movie Night *
* Potluck Dinners *
* Out - To - Dinner *
* Swimming *
* Our Yearly Retreat (when announced) *
* Gay Pride / we enter every year *
* Merry Meeting July 4th Cruise *
( these days will be posted on the events calendar)
That is just some of the events we do. Our events planning committee is always coming up with new ideas all the time.
So, whats stopping you?
Come as you are we are a non-discriminating affirmative ministry.
We meet every Sunday at 1:15PM in the parlor of Immanuel Baptist Church on the corner of Deering street
and High Street / right across from the Eastland Hotel. The entrance is in the back of the church. You will
need to go through 2 doors and the parlor is on the right. You will see a sign for Circle Of Hope A Special
Ministry Of Metropolitan Community Churches. If The doors are locked please ring doorbell at the top of the
door frame outside. We also have a Bible Study night which is Wednesday's from 7-9pm. Come join us for
fellowship and worship! We all hope to see you at our service sometime. May God Bless You and Yours &
Keep You All Healthy,
