Creativity: Hands-on activities to explore Bible stories, reflecting on God’s creativity.

Hospitality: God’s unconditional love; A church for people outside church.

An oasis of welcome and a safe space in which to thrive.

Messy Church is about hospitality, expressed most evidently by eating together.

Celebration: Reflects a God of joy who wants His people to enjoy life in all its fullness.
