Retreats & Small Groups

Intergenerational retreats and small groups helping families connect, grow in faith, and build meaningful relationships through shared experiences.

Messy Family Retreats

Messy Family Retreats are designed to help your community step away from the busyness of everyday life and into meaningful, shared experiences of faith. Unlike a typical Messy Church session, these retreats offer extended time for connection, creativity, and spiritual growth across generations.

Each retreat provides a complete, flexible framework you can adapt to your context, whether you’re planning an overnight event, a single-day experience, or a multi-week series. Through hands-on activities, storytelling, worship, and reflection, families don’t just learn about faith—they experience it together.

Start planning a retreat your families won’t forget.

Companion Groups

Faith is meant to be lived and lived together.

Companion Groups are small, intergenerational gatherings designed to help your Messy Church community move beyond a single event and into ongoing relationships, shared rhythms, and deeper discipleship. These groups create space for people of all ages to connect, grow, and experience God together in the context of everyday life.

Meeting regularly around a simple meal, Scripture, creative activities, and prayer, Companion Groups offer a flexible, repeatable structure that’s easy to implement and meaningful for everyone involved. There’s no need for a designated “teacher”—these groups are built to be shared, participatory, and relational, where everyone contributes and belongs.
