Messy Church is not a stepping stone into existing congregations, nor is it a church plant, but it is a congregation in its own right.
Messy Church is ecumenical and seeks to work with all Christian churches.
At the heart of every Messy Church gathering are values that shape who we are and how we live out our faith together. These values remind us that Messy Church is more than crafts, songs, or meals. It’s a way of being church that welcomes all ages, celebrates God’s creativity and joy, and centers us in Christ’s transforming love.
Rooted in hospitality and shared life, these values guide every Messy Church community around the world.
Messy Church USA is part of the vibrant and growing global Messy Church movement, which connects tens of thousands of people around the world in a shared commitment to Christ-centered, all-ages, hands-on worship.
We are one family—linked through creativity, hospitality, and celebration—partnering across oceans and neighborhoods alike. Within the United States, churches of all sizes and denominations are building community through Messy Church, learning from one another, sharing stories and resources, and joining in a wider web of encouragement and support.
Whether you’re in a big city or a small town, you’re not alone in this journey—we’re all part of something much bigger.
