Messy Church USA (MC USA) is excited to announce a Massive Messy Day of Training on Saturday, October 23, 2021. We will gather in person at regional locations across the USA to give your teams all you need to either start for the first time or to restart your local Messy Church. A team of experienced Messy Church trainers will facilitate the day. We are excited to premier our newly revised “Getting Started in Messy Church” curriculum at the six locations.
Each location has a limited number of registrants due to COVID restrictions. See each registration form for the limit information. Due to the increased spread of the delta variant of COVID, the Huntington Beach location will offer an in person and optional live online streaming event. To choose an online option, proceed to the Huntington Beach location and choose the online option.
At the training, each team (or individual) receives:
- A foundational training that includes focus on five core values of Messy Church
- Messy Basics and ‘how to’ suggestions to guide you in beginning your local Messy Church
- Interaction with other church teams and our trained Messy Church USA leaders
- A Full Messy Session you can use. Session includes an intro to the Biblical theme, activities that illustrate the theme, downloadable flyers for each activity table with engaging questions, celebration time and meal suggestions
- Lunch and morning coffee provided with registration
