Description
What is Messy Church?
Messy Church enables people of all ages to belong to Christ together.
Who is Welcome at Messy Church?
It is a way of being church which is a particularly suited to families (not a drop-off event for kids) but welcoming to all and cross-generational. It meets at a time and on a day that suits families and is particularly welcoming to people who have never belonged to a church before.
What Are Core Messy Church Values?
Christ-centered: Messy Church is a church, not a craft club, that
helps people to encounter and enter into a transforming relationship
with Jesus.
All Age: Messy Church is for adults and children to enjoy together, relevant and accessible to all ages.
Creativity: Messy Church uses hands-on activities to explore Bible stories, to reflect a God of Creativity, and to give people a chance to play together.
Celebration: Messy Church reflects a God of joy who wants all of God’s people to have life in all its fullness.
Hospitality: Messy Church reflects a God of unconditional love, and is a church for people outside of a traditional church, providing an oasis of welcome and a safe place in which to thrive.
Messy Church is about hospitality, expressed most evidently by eating together, whether it’s a plate of sandwiches, a full course meal, or pizza.
