We had hoped to gather in October 2020…
How many times have we thought back over what we’d planned for 2020 that never came to be? Messy Church USA was deep into planning its 2nd national conference when March 2020 rolled around and changed all our plans. Life gets Messy sometimes, doesn’t it?
When Messy Church USA gathers in 2024 for our national gathering, we’ll be a growing network with over 300 Messy Churches (we’re hovering around 300 as I write this…) in 48 states. And we cannot wait to Celebrate the Mess with you!
Mark your calendar for April 18-20, 2024
Make plans now to join us in Northfield, Illinois (Chicago area) April 18-20, 2024 for Celebrate the Mess, a national gathering of Messy Churches across the USA. We are going to celebrate the joys and the struggles, the trials and errors. We’re going to connect with one another, be inspired by Messy stories, and share ideas to build strong Messy communities. And above all, we’re going to celebrate the ways Jesus meets us in our Mess and the mighty works of God happening through Messy Churches across the US.
Our conference website will go live after Labor Day and registration will open in October. Stay tuned!
