Messy Church


Messy Church is an informal Christian activity for families, often held on a day other than Sunday and often in a place other than a church. Its slogan is "Church, but not as you know it".
Messy Church began as a fresh expression of church in 2004 in the parish of Cowplain, near Portsmouth, England, and as of February 2019 there were more than 2,800 Messy Churches registered in England.
By 2015 Messy Church had spread from the UK to other European countries and to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA.
