Join us for Messy Church from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. on September 23rd, and on the 3rd Sunday of each month all year!
Why the name "Messy Church?" Because life is messy, and God meets us wherever we are in the chaos; and because the model is interactive, using hands-on activities to reinforce a monthly biblical theme.
Messy Church is:
- A multi-generational experience designed for ALL AGES
- A fresh, new way to meet God and grow together in faith as a family
- An interactive worship experience using games, crafts, stories, and music.
- A community-building experience that concludes with a family-style dinner.
At the end of the evening, everyone goes home with new ideas on how to connect with family and with God.

The theme for September 23rd is “Creating & Caring.”
