Our Origin and History

 

Our basic history and the origin of how we became New Day Christian Community Church:

Formerly known as MCC-Greenville (MCC-G) we began as a commissioned church of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC). It was at this time known as one of the churches in the UFMCC's Gulf Lower Atlantic District (GLAD). MCC-G was started when a group of people gathered in the fall of 1981 to investigate starting a church. The official date of certification by the UFMCC is January 31, 1982.

On Easter Sunday, March 30, 1997, MCC-G moved to our own church building at 314 Lloyd Street in Greenville, South Carolina. The building had been bought and then completely renovated by the members of the church under the leadership of the Reverend Mick Hinson, who was the Pastor at MCC-G for six years. The Reverend Marty Luna was our pastor from November 1998 until July 2000.

Today we are known as New Day Christian Community Church. New Day CCC withdrew from the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC) in July 2003 with a majority vote by the membership. While UFMCC provided the needed structure and support in the early days of the church, the restructuring of the denomination, the movement away from common goals and mission and less local church autonomy led this body of believers to appoint an ad hoc committee to study the benefits of remaining in UFMCC.

By recommendation of this committee a vote was taken and disaffiliation was the result of the majority vote. The ad hoc committee continued its study of whether to remain an independent church or whether to affiliate with another denomination. Over the course of several months, other denominations were examined and studied. Along with this study, the ad hoc committee took into consideration the value of remaining an independent church.

A recommendation was made to the Board of Directors of New Day CCC to affiliate with International Christian Community Churches (ICCC). The Board of Directors voted to accept the committee's recommendations and to ask the congregation for a vote. On May 16, 2004 the congregation of New Day Christian Community Church voted on affiliation with ICCC. By a majority vote, the congregation decided to affiliate with ICCC and became an official member on July 11, 2004.

Experiencing doctrinal and theological differences with ICCC, on August 16, 2009 New Day voted to become and remains an independent Christian church.
