Messy Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Messy Church is "a way of being church for families". Its slogan is "Church, but not as you know it".[1]
History
Messy Church began as a fresh expression of church in 2004 in the parish of Cowplain, near Portsmouth, England,[2] and as of February 2019 there were more than 2,800 Messy Churches registered in England.[3][4]
By 2015, Messy Church had spread from the UK to other European countries and to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, and South America.[5][6] It is supported and resourced by the Bible Reading Fellowship.[7]
