Collection Overview

From the Collection:

Collection consists of the records of the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) of Charleston, a Christian church that welcomes members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community, from 1990-2009. The records include three binders containing monthly board of directors and semi-annual congregational meeting minutes, financial records, bylaws, policies, and correspondence. Materials have been removed from their original housings and moved into folders. Original order has been kept and the materials are primarily in reverse chronological order. Meeting minutes often discuss church activities like the 25th anniversary celebration in 2006, operation of the ongoing church food bank, and fundraisers for Lowcountry AIDS Services (now known as Palmetto Community Care) through 2005. There is also significant discussion of the church’s purchase of the property at 7860 Dorchester Road in North Charleston, South Carolina, in 1997. Congregational meeting minutes contain significant documentation of the disaffiliation from UFMCC vote in June 2003, including ballots and persuasion papers. Also included are assorted photographs of church activities and a 25th anniversary program.
