Sermons at The Village MCC

Sermons at MCC are in a variety of formats, from traditional teachings to interviews, poetry and song. Many sermons are given by Rev. Michael Hydes or Rev. Peta Evans, but often there will be a guest preacher from the wider LGBT community, another church or religious organisation, and sometimes by other members of The Village.

All our sermons are recorded and uploaded to this website. The list on the right of this page shows the most recent sermons or you can visit here for a complete list.
