We’d love to speak to your church about Messy Church and the other ministries of BRF (Anna Chaplaincy for Older People, Living Faith, Parenting for Faith). We’re also the team to talk to about raising funds for Messy Church at BRF.
Meet the team below.
Hi! I'm Melissa, I'm the Children's and Families Minister at Holy Trinity, Hurdsfield Church in Macclesfield. I am passionate about Messy Church, not just because it is so imaginative and sometimes bonkers but because I get to meet lots of lovely people and tell them about Jesus. Claims to fame: presented a gift to Princess Margaret, preached at Chester Cathedral and met Wayne Rooney in the co op!
Michelle says, 'i moved to Devon two years ago from south London with my husband, where I was previously one of the Regional Coordinators for south-west London. I have been involved with Messy Church for a number of years. I have experience in running both large and small Messy Churches in different denominations. I am passionate about the work of the Bible Reading Fellowship and like nothing more then walking with churches as they discover what the next step that God has lined up for them.

I started a Messy Church in 4 rural parishes in Kent where there were virtually no children or families in the churches but plenty of children in the schools. I led the team for 6 years before we retired and moved away. I loved seeing families drawn into a community and coming to know the love of God in their lives.
Hi there. I retired from the BRF Messy Church team at the of 2017 and since then have been involved in various voluntary roles locally and overseas; I have also worked as a freelancer for BRF. I have recently taken up role as a minister for a village church in Essex and hope to start a Messy Church there as soon as it is possible again.
Retired to Cornwall 4 years ago. Been involved in ministry to children, young people and families since teenage years. Passionate about sharing God's story with Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension by whatever means I can. The only way to kingdom growth is intergenerational! Loved my hot tub in the Covid 19 Lockdown!
