About us
Margate Community Church (MCC) is an interdenominational, community oriented congregation, over 300 people strong and representing more than 11 different denominations. We are united in God’s love through our shared commitment to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, and minds, and our neighbors as ourselves.
In the 87 years since MCC began, our ecumenical spirit has proved to be a wonderful experiment. As a covenant congregation, we are joined in fellowship through a covenant promise, not rigid doctrine. We recognize that people’s religious convictions and spiritual journeys are varied. This spiritual freedom has allowed a wide range of people – from Methodist to Quaker, Baptist to Unitarian, Catholic to Jew, Presbyterian to Lutheran – to unite in a fellowship marked by joy, hope, and sincere love.
MCC shares our financial and spiritual support with both the American Baptist Churches USA and the United Church of Christ. Our pastoral affiliations have been diverse, from Baptist to Congregationalist, to Lutheran. Our pastor has dual standing with the United Church of Christ and the American Baptists.
