Messy Church Team Leader
Aike is responsible for leading the BRF Messy Church Team as they seek to support the Messy Church network both nationally and internationally. This includes writing, reflecting, speaking, developing resources and projects, so that the work of Messy Church can continue to transform lives.
Aike has been involved with Messy Church since 2010. Over a 7-year period, her Messy adventures include growing a team of Messy Young leaders, 4 weekend Messy Camps, taking Messy Church to the local Parksfest, and hosting Messy Munch, an intergenerational small group. She joined the Diocese of Southwark in 2017, supporting parishes in their ministry with children, young people and families. This included hosting Messy Celebrations at Southwark Cathedral exploring Messy Communion and Baptism.
A former Osteopath, Aike loves learning and has an MA in Mission (Cliff College 2019). She enjoys drama, dancing, walking, growing things and anything related to snow. She gives thanks for her husband Neil and 3 teenagers, who have been a part of her Messy journey. She started a Messy Church Goes Wild! near the O2, Greenwich in March 2022.
