About PPMCC
Pikes Peak Metropolitan Community Church is a resilient, vibrant, and lovingly inclusive congregation with a long history of spiritual care, LGBTQ+ advocacy, community service, and ministry in Colorado Springs. We seek a caring, authentic, and collaborative pastor to help lead our congregation into its next chapter.
As part of Metropolitan Community Churches, we are grounded in God’s radically inclusive love. MCC’s Statement of Faith invites us to build beloved community, affirm our bodies, genders, and sexualities, care for creation, and work toward justice. We welcome people with diverse theological perspectives to join in that ongoing conversation.
MCC Statement of Faith and Theological Alignment
Metropolitan Community Churches is one chapter in the story of the Church, the Body of Christ. We are people on a journey, learning to live into our spirituality, while affirming our bodies, our genders, our sexualities. We do not all believe exactly the same things. And yet in the midst of our diversity, we build community, grounded in God's radically inclusive love for all people. We are part of an ongoing conversation on matters of belief and faith, shaped by scripture and the historic creeds, building on those who have come before us. Our chapter begins when God says to us: “Come, taste, and see.”
“Come, taste, and see.” Jesus Christ, You invite all people to Your open table. You make us Your people, a beloved community. You restore the joy of our relationship with God, even in the midst of loneliness, despair, and degradation. We are each unique, and we all belong, a priesthood of all believers. Baptized and filled with Your Holy Spirit, You empower us to be Your healing presence in a hurting world. We expect to see Your reign on earth as it is in heaven as we work toward a world where everyone has enough, wars cease, and all creation lives in harmony. We affirm Your charge to all of humanity to care for the land, sea, and air. Therefore, we will actively resist systems and structures which are destroying Your creation. With all of creation we worship You, every tribe, every language, every people, every nation. We know You by many names: Triune God, beyond comprehension, revealed to us in Jesus Christ, who invites us to the feast. Amen.
