Have you ever felt like you don't fit into the typical Sunday morning worship?  You struggle to sit quietly for an hour?  You learn and communicate best in ways other than the spoken word?  You bring questions but still long to be part of community?  If so, Messy Church can be a great place for you and your family! 

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

Jesus is at the heart of everything we do and the way we do it!

This involves encountering Christ as we plan and prepare.  It means that at Messy Church the team expects to meet Christ in the child or adult who comes through the door for the first time or who has been part of the church for years.  It includes hearing about Jesus and talking about him as we take part in the different elements of Messy Church.  It means doing everyting in the name of Christ and being a place where everyone can taste and see the kingdom of heaven that Jesus came to bring about.

Being Christ-centered means Messy Church is a church congregation alongside the other congregations of the church, not a feeder into them.  It means the team comes to it expecting to meet Christ themselves, not performing 'at' or 'for' others.  It becomes an opportunity for everyone to encounter the mystery of faith rather than morality teaching.  Being Christ-centered is about embracing risk rather than simply delivering an event.  It will almost certainly be messy, as people and relationships take priority over structures and systems: it certainly was in Jesus' own ministry!

Join us 4th Sundays from 3:00 to 4:30p.m beginning on August 24th!
