The Metropolitan Community Church Edinburgh (Holy Trinity Metropolitan Community Church) met as a congregation of Metropolitan Community Church from 1995 to 2009. The church has now ceased worshipping independently and has merged with Augustine United Church, which meets at 11am, each Sunday. Metropolitan Community Church is a worldwide Christian denomination founded in 1968 to have a special, affirming ministry with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. ==Foundation of Edinburgh Congregation== On 17 June 1995, the first ever Pride Scotland March and Festival was held in Edinburgh. Rev Jim McManus (then Pastoral Team member of MCC Newcastle and Rev Roy Beaney (then European District Coordinator) along with other MCC members visited Edinburgh and organised an MCC stall at the Pride Festival. The next day they held a small worship Service in the LGBT Centre in Broughton Street. Using the contacts that were made at Pride, Rev McManus tried to get a group together of those interested. An article appeared in ''The Scotsman'' and Michelle Russell was interviewed on ''BBC Radio Scotland''. A meeting was arranged for Saturday 15 July in the LGBT Centre for those interested. A dozen or so attended and the decision was taken to form a congregation and the first worship service after deciding to become a congregation was Sunday 16 July (third Sunday in July), downstairs in the LGBT Centre.
