Bylaws & Policies

The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches is a global denomination. The denominational bylaws, which apply to the whole denomination and MCC churches all over the world, need to be clear and limited in scope, in order to give local congregations maximum flexibility within their own setting.

UFMCC is registered as a non-profit organization in the state of California, USA. This means that some of its policies, for example, around employment, need to comply with state and US federal law, as a minimum. MCC also needs to take into account laws in other countries where relevant, to make sure that UFMCC is operating appropriately.
