What Messy Church is!
- A Church for adults and children to enjoy together
- It's primarily for people who don't belong to
another form of church already
- It's all-age
- It's fun!
- It's aim is to intoduce Jesus, to give an opportunity
to encounter Him and to grow closer to Him.
- It usually includes some creative time to explore
the biblical theme by getting messy; a celebration time which may involve
story, prayer song, games and similar; and a meal together.
- It's values are hospitality, creativity and celebration.
- It models and promotes good ways of growing as
a family; a nuclear family, a extended family and a global and local Church
family.
- The first Messy Church was in Hampshire in 2004
and the idea has spread and there are now many Messy Churches.
