Emerald City Metropolitan Community Church

Description

ECMCCS has a 53-year history of being Seattle’s queerest spiritual home. Thousands of folx have come into community with us over these five decades in search of a place where they can be fully themselves and seek the sacred without judgment.

We are fully progressive in our spiritual journeys, following the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, as found in the canonical gospels of the bible, as well as in other sources outside of the canon. We do not affirm any bible as inerrant or infallible. We take historical-critical biblical scholarship seriously, meaning that we read all scriptures in the context in which they were written.

We find deep meaning in allegorical readings of the scriptures. We also read the scriptures through the lenses of Queer, Womanist, POC Liberation, Post-Colonial, and like theologies. Our understanding of the Divine is also informed by New Thought / Metaphysical teachings.
