Dernancourt Uniting Messy Church

Messy Church Values

Christ-centred

Messy Church is a church, not a craft club, that helps people encounter Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Messy Church believes, with the historic churches, in one God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

All Age

Messy Church is for adults and children to enjoy together. Every element should be relevant and accessible to all ages.

Creativity

Messy Church uses hands-on activities to explore Bible stories, to reflect a God of creativity and to give people a chance to play together.

Hospitality

Messy Church reflects a God of unconditional love and is a church for people outside church, providing an oasis of welcome and a safe space in which to thrive. Messy Church is about hospitality, expressed most evidently by eating together - whether it's a plate of sandwiches to share, or sausage and mash.

Celebration

Messy Church reflects a God of joy who wants his people to have life in all its fullness.
