An
All
Affirming Congregation is
one that welcomes Gays into all of the life of the local
church, and is gay-friendly, and believes one CAN
be Christian and Gay at the same time, since God
created all peoples including Gays.
We accept all people, no matter where on life's journey they are
at the moment. If you are seeking for truth and knowledge, and seeking
for a closer walk with God, come visit and grow with us.
We believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit
of God working in our hearts, souls, bodies,
minds, and in our lives to be more like Jesus. But that
process does NOT change our sexual
orientation any more then it changes our skin color
or gender. These are some things God will never do, nor
have any reason to change.
There are some Affirming Congregations in most
denominations today. You have to go to their local church website
to find more info.
This is opposed to
churches that are Transforming Congregations, which
means one can NOT be Christian and Gay, but they
welcome Gays that are seeking to transform into a "Straight"
lifestyle. We believe that view to be an utter impossibility, sinful,
and also un-Biblical, and against ALL modern scientific intelligence and
information.
Most churches are neither, that is, they ignore gay people
of faith, or else boot them out from their membership
and churches (which is very sad and very un-Christ-like).
YOU are ALL welcome at
The Rock MCC church!
May "trouble makers" be
changed by the power of God even before they pass by our church
property, before they enter the front door of our church building!
Visit us this Sunday!
May God Bless You All
in the Name of Jesus! |

Our Church Profile
| The Rock MCC is a Christian denomination
--a part of the Church Body of Jesus Christ here on earth-- called the Universal Fellowship of
Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC) -shorter name is
Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC). The first MCC
church was started in 1968 by Rev. Troy David Perry who is a
Pentecostal minister. MCC now has over 250 churches in 23 countries
of the world. This local MCC church was established in 1988 as a
parish extension of the Knoxville MCC in Knoxville TN
under the direction of Rev. Bob Galloway. The primary outreach in most
MCC churches is to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender (GLBT) communities around the world. All people –straight, gay-friendly, gay-affirming, and questioning, --no matter what sexual
orientation, are welcome at MCC. God’s love is big enough to embrace
all who come to the Good News in Jesus Christ. God surely loves you and
so do we. Visit your local MCC church this Sunday! And stay tuned

Misc Computer
Info
Misc Computer Info
| This is mostly for my (Bernard) informational use.
There is much computer usage and "how to" stuff all throughout these
web pages that are hidden from the general viewer, but can be seen by
me, the programmer using FrontPage. Other words, there are hundred of
"Comments" that are automatically hidden from viewers, and many other
text that still are in place in a page, but I've hidden it for various
reasons from the viewers. Sometimes it is a good way to save text
without deleting it -just hide it, if it is out of date, or shows me how
to do something in the future, etc. I make a lot of notes to myself,
lists of names spelled correctly for worship schedules, phone numbers to
be kept private from viewers, etc. Right now, I, Bernard Wotton, am the
only person able to edit our church website. I am the only one who has a
password to TheRockMCC.org
besides the host company who has access to it also for emergency
purposes.
Some day soon I may let another trusted person to have limited access to
FrontPage 2003 editing capabilities for helping maintaining our church
website. Concerning the church wiki site,
any of you members and friends can edit any wiki page, or add new pages
right now. If you do add info and things to the wiki, let me know so I
can help you if you mess up... The wiki site itself is a work in
progress; the folks who created it are making improvements and
adding new features to it all the time. And we are using the wiki site
to add information for the viewers. |
You are Visitor:
May God Bless You!
