​Messy Church
AN EXPLANATION OF ‘MESSY CHURCH’
The term ‘Messy Church’ has been used for a number of years but what does it mean? In essence, it’s a modern way to communicate the Christian faith to families who might not feel inclined to come to a church service but have an interest in what we have to say. In Ness Bank it’s a highly organised operation planned in advance, and led by a team of volunteers. A lunch is provided for all attending and the chosen topic is developed using drama, music, story and a wide range of active games and crafts to capture the children’s interests. We aim to have four events in a year – at Christmas, Easter, Summer with a theme, and one in October.
​
​
The next Messy Church will be Sunday 8 February 2026 (12.30-2.30pm) on the theme “Who is God?”, with a team planning meeting after church on 25 January (note change of date).
