Messy Church WWW site, viewed June 18, 2018 Info page (the first Messy Church began in 2004 when a group at St Wilfrid's in Cowplain near Portsmouth were frustrated because, as a church, they were hardly reaching any children with God's story; one of the original team members was Lucy Moore; as she was working for BRF at the time, BRF became the natural home of the ministry when training and resources began to be needed for other churches to start their own Messy Church; Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality and is primarily for people who don't already belong to another form of church; Messy Church is spreading across denominations and countries; Messy Church is resourced, supported and enabled by BRF)
