Messy Church
​Christchurch

The first Thursday in school holidays: 10:30am - 12:30pm and some Sunday Afternoons for special celebrations.
Check out our Messy Church Facebook for Dates or email messyceb@gmail.com for more information.
What is Messy Church?
It's called Messy - but you don't have to get in a mess and we don't leave the church building in a mess!

Who is it for?
Messy Church is for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

​What happens?
  • A two hour session beginning with refreshments and registration.
  • When most people have arrived we introduce the theme for the session - based on a Bible story, church celebration or a value.
  • Following this there are several practical activities (mainly craft based or a game).
  • Next we have a celebration of what we have been doing in the session, which usually includes a story, a song and a prayer.
  • And finally we share a meal.

​We would love you to come along and find out for yourself what Messy Church is all about. If you can't stay for the full two hours that doesn't matter. Just come and say hello.

Thursday Evenings
​Christchurch, 7.30pm

Access Ministries in partnership with the Forest of Dean Salvation Army are holding a fortnightly event for people with and without disabilities, to explore faith and their own relationship with Jesus, if any. Activities are likely to include discussion, prayer, worship and fellowship; however the events are flexible and tailored to suit those who attend.

​A safe and creative space where people are helped to explore at their own pace!

Find out when these events are on by viewing the Parish Diary.
