What is Messy Church? Messy Church is a creative mix of crafts and
activities, storytelling and singing, conversation and a shared meal. Messy Church is a time when families of all ages come together to share their faith. It’s not just a children’s activity or a special event for families with pre-school children; even though there are many activities for children of all ages, including pre-schoolers. Messy Church seeks to rediscover the inter-generational way in which faith is passed on from child to adult as much as from adult to child. Messy Church begins with a brief, family-friendly worship service before inviting participants to dive deeper into the Bible story through a mixture of crafts and activities and then ends with a simple, shared meal. |
