Come Together in the Mess

Our world feels increasingly fragmented.

Communities are divided. Families are stretched thin. Many people are searching for belonging, hope, and authentic connection. Life feels messy,and not always in the fun way.

Yet God is still gathering people together.

Across the country, Messy Churches are creating spaces where people of all ages can belong, encounter God, build relationships, and grow in faith together. In a world marked by isolation and division, these communities are becoming signs of hope.

Join Messy Church leaders, volunteers, clergy, pioneers, and practitioners from across the nation as we gather for worship, encouragement, practical learning, creative inspiration, and meaningful connection.

Together we’ll explore what it means to be a community of hope in a messy world, and why Messy Church may be uniquely suited for this moment.

We’ll celebrate the ways God is bringing new life, building relationships across generations, and creating places of belonging for people who might never walk through the doors of a traditional church.

Whether you’re just getting started, have been leading a Messy Church for years, or are dreaming about what comes next, you’ll find fresh ideas, renewed energy, and companions for the journey.

April 15–17, 2027, we’ll Come Together in the Mess.

Because God doesn’t wait for us to have everything figured out.

God meets us in the mess, gathers us in community, and calls us forward with hope.
