MCC in the Media
Did you know that in an average week MCC is mentioned in the media over 30 times? Sometimes it's a reference to the work of the denomination, sometimes to the specific ministry of a local church, and sometimes to one of our leaders. If you see MCC noted in a newspaper, on the internet, on TV, etc., send that information to JimBirkitt@MCCchurch.net.
One example was the mention of MCC on Southland, a new TV program in the US. A Child Protective Services worker was interviewing a mother who was trying to get her son back; the worker asks the mother if she is affiliated with a church. She responds, "I mostly go to MCC in Hollywood. They are kind of gay but they're really nice and I can bring Jimmy."
