Pikes Peak Metropolitan Community Church is a progressive community of faith, welcoming all people, with special outreach to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer communities of the Colorado Springs area. The church is part of the larger MCC denomination founded in 1968 to meet the needs and challenges of people of faith who had been alienated by their own home churches because of their sexual orientation.

MCC has been deeply involved in issues of GLBTQ people, including the HIV/AIDS crisis, political challenges, and the rights of all people to live as God's children and to love and marry according to their orientation. Our founder, Rev. Troy Perry, was one of the plaintiffs in the 2008 California case that made same-sex marriage legal in that state.


As a denomination, MCC is a fast-growing movement, with over 300 congregations worldwide. Just recently groups in Pakistan and the Philippines became our newest congregations. The blessing of God’s Spirit and the determined work of sexual minority Christians and their allies have made this tremendous growth possible, as we boldly proclaim what the Bible says and does not say about being a person of faith.

This is a place free of judgment, guilt, and shame. We believe the Bible is right when it teaches that we are to "build one another up in love." In a world where we are too often being torn down or tearing others down, we do not need anyone else contributing to that hurt and pain—especially not our church!

A Quick Look at Pikes Peak MCC First and foremost, we are a community of faith—a group of people who worship and pray, learn and grow, and truly care about one another. We seek out meaningful ways to practice a relevant and honest spirituality. We seek God and learn together what it means to live an abundant journey.
We are progressive. That is, we look beyond literal understandings of scriptures. We affirm many understandings of God and invite you to explore your own paths with us. We believe that God is known in an infinite variety of ways. Our lives are a testimony to the liberation of God’s love for us. We affirm a variety of sexual orientations and gender identities as powerful and enlightening images of God.
PPMCC is about more than just getting together on Sundays. Because we have developed true friendships here, we also enjoy being together just for social purposes. Some things we have done include whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, barbecues, and weekend retreats. These are often the times when we get to know each other best and make connections.

Rev. Wes Mullins is the Senior Pastor of Pikes Peak MCC. He brings a fresh approach to faith and spirituality that is relevant and real. He is often reminding us, “We have to be honest and full of integrity because our God can only be as real as we are.” His messages are powerful and moving, without ever becoming “preachy.” Pastor Wes spent five years in ex-gay reparative therapy and when he realized sexuality could not be changed, he came out—which resulted in him being kicked out of the church of his youth. Today, he is thankful for all that has happened because "MCC has been a true breath of fresh air into the stale experience I have had in many other religious contexts. I am thankful to be in a church that acknowledges fully embodied people—sexual, spiritual, physical, and mystical."
