UFMCC Policies, Guidelines & Governing Documents

Pikes Peak MCC is part of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, a global denomination with shared bylaws, policies, leadership structures, and accountability processes.

MCC explains that its denominational bylaws apply across the Fellowship while allowing local congregations flexibility within their own settings. Administrative policies are generally approved by the Governing Board, while church and ministry policies may be approved by the Council of Elders, the Governing Board, or both.
