Messy Church is a once-monthly time for families to enjoy being together, making things together, eating together, praying together, and celebrating God together through his Word. It’s different from a children’s activity because it’s an event for children and their parents, grandparents or caretakers together, and it’s more than just a play time because of the element of worship that underpins it all. With Messy Church, we are trying to be a worshiping community of all ages, centered on Christ, showing Christian hospitality—giving people a chance to express their creativity, to sit down together to eat a meal, and to have fun within a church context. Our principles, in no particular order, are • To provide an opportunity for people of all ages to worship together. • To help people of all ages feel that they belong in church and to each other. • To help people have fun together. • To give people a chance to express their God-given creativity. • To invite people into an experience of Christian community. • To introduce people to Jesus through hospitality, friendship, stories, and worship.
