What is “Get Started”?
“Get Started” is our foundational training event that is highly recommended for any church planning to start a Messy Church. The training is also helpful for Messy Churches looking to expand their leadership team or simply need a refresher to move from starting to sustaining a Messy Church.
This training is theoretical and practical. They will discover how the five foundational values and four components are used as building blocks to contextualize their Messy Church. The mini Messy Church experience helps teams to understand best practices in leading a Messy Church.
The in-person training is a full day six-hour day. The online version consists of three 90-minute sessions. Our trainings are designed for a local church team to attend together.

All of our Messy Webinars include both a Learn! and Engage! session. Our Learn! session is a 30–45-minute video of content that examines best practices to lead and sustain your local Messy Church. Our live webinars are scattered throughout the year and are available for the entire month. With our live webinars, you have an opportunity to engage with the video presenters and other Messy Church leaders during the Engage! session. You must register your church for the ‘live’ webinars.
We now offer previously recorded webinars through our store. When you purchase the previously recorded webinar you receive both the LEARN! and ENGAGE!
