Justice & Activism for Our Community
When Metropolitan Community Churches first came into being, Rev. Elder Troy Perry made a clear decision that this church would be committed to the cause of social justice. We gladly carry that mantle in the Sarasota & Bradenton community. The work of justice and work of mercy are the works of Jesus.
Ongoing Justice Work
Emma E. Booker Elementary School
We have an ongoing partnership with this wonderful school. Many of our congregants volunteer in ways that directly impact the lives of these students and teachers.
Sarasota County School Board Meetings
The Sarasota School Board has had local and national attention over the last year for all the ways the board has failed to meet the needs of ALL students. It is necessary to call them out and use our voices at the school board meetings.
Blessing Bags
We invite you to pick up blessing bags every Sunday. As you encounter folks who might need water, a little food, a toothbrush, etc., offer them a blessing bag. We encourage you to do the most important thing: find our their name and their story.
Special Events
November Food Drive
November 1 - 17 - Every year, we assist one of our area food banks in collecting food to stock their shelves for all those experiencing food insecurity in our cities.See food items that are needed so you can share some of your own food blessings with others during the Thanksgiving season. We are thrilled to support Second Chance Last Opportunity this year.
