Messy Church


"A way of being church for families involving fun. A church, not a craft club,
that helps people encounter Jesus as Lord and Saviour."

Messy Church is a way of being church for families and others. It is Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration

Resources

At Diocesan House we have a collection of books and resources that have been published by BRF on Messy Church. All are available to borrow on request. Email Kira Hedley-Smith for more details. We also have publicity leaflets to hand out in parishes and a subscription to the monthly magazine Get Messy.
