Joy Metropolitan Community Church (JOY MCC) is a spiritual home in Orlando, Florida, dedicated to inclusivity and the teachings of Jesus Christ. With “LOVE WINS” as our mantra, we’re not just keeping up with the times — we’re shaping them. Join us as we explore the boundless possibilities of faith, guided by the timeless message of love.
God’s radical love is our guide as we welcome, nourish, and advocate for all, spreading acceptance, justice, and JOY in our community.
As you browse our website, we hope you’ll discover ways to worship, connect, and stay informed. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am and 10:45 am EST. If you are unable to attend in person, our 10:45 am service is also available online.
At Joy MCC, we celebrate diversity in all its forms because we believe that each unique perspective enriches our collective experience. Our doors are always open to those seeking solace, solidarity, and spiritual transformation. Together, we fill searching hearts, fight for justice, and feed hungry souls, embodying the transformative power of love in action.
Our mission is taking the doors off the church and the church to the streets.
Our vision is to fill searching hearts, fight for justice, and feed hungry people.
That’s the question we have been asking all year long-in fact it’s a question we have been asking for over 45 years at JOY. The answer to that question over the past 45 years has led to JOY making a difference in the community, to JOY feeding the hungry, and to help thousands understand that in the midst of struggle and social injustice LOVE WINS, LOVE HEALS!!
