Messy Church for all
Messy Church is for all ages and stages of faith. It creates church communities that are, well, messy! That means we can get messy with paint and glue and other creative stuff, and it means we can get messy in showing our vulnerable sides with one another too.
Upcoming Messy Church ACTIVITIES
What happens at Messy Church?
Our Messy Church events have lots of fun activities for parents and children to do together. There is time to worship God before everybody shares food. Find out more of God’s stories and grow together as God’s people.
Activities might be art, or games, or drama. The worship might be traditional or modern, or a mixture of both. But it is always fun.
We don’t have to be perfect when we come to church – our kids’ hair can be uncombed, they can make noise, we can be sad or anxious or lonely, and we can explore our wonderful creative God through stuff that leaves Play-Doh and paint everywhere.

Who Is Messy Church For?
Messy Church is for all ages, to worship together.
And a good Messy Church will be for you too. Parents and carers aren’t just there to supervise their children – they’re there to worship, and come closer to God too, and grow in faith. We pray that Messy Church will nourish your faith as well as your child’s and the experience of worshiping together as a family, walking alongside each other on your journeys, is truly special.
