		<description>I would really love to attend a worship service at the Minneapolis Metropolitan Community Church. I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s crazy though to drive an hour for a service. Am I crazy?  
I&#039;ve been searching for a long time for a GLBT friendly Christian church so maybe the hour drive is worth it. 
Plus I&#039;ve never been to church so I&#039;m slightly nervous. Gah!&lt;p class=&quot;wp-report-this&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mccchurch.org?moderation_action=report_form&amp;object_type=comment&amp;object_id=3839&amp;width=250&amp;height=300&quot; class=&quot;thickbox&quot; title=&quot;Report This Comment&quot;&gt;Report This Comment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi TS...

Our churches are welcoming to all walks of life and &quot;outness&quot;.  If you&#039;re nervous about a first visit, use our Find a Church directory to find the phone number and/or email address of the church you want to visit.  Give the pastor or lay leader a call to introduce yourself.  Sometimes, the nerves are made a little easier if you have a connection already made and someone to greet you when you arrive.

Our churches are also diverse in terms of worship styles and religious tradition.  If you have a background in another church, you may find some things about our local church in your area that you easily recognize. 

In terms of what to expect - our churches are all welcoming and inclusive.  We come from all walks of life, share coming out experiences, and endeavor to worship and serve God.  At the very least, you should be able to expect entry into a spiritual family with open arms.

Blessings on your first visit!
-Mel
