Messy Church

Here at Sandpoint UMC, we believe that the path to discovering God and nurturing faith doesn't have to be neat and tidy. Messy Church is a weekly activity for kids (and sometimes adults!) to discover and learn about faith through craft projects and fun activities. In the past, these activities have included a water slide, rock painting, paper crafts, sign-making, tie-dying, and more!

At Messy Church, kids can develop lifelong friendships and support systems while having fun, learning about God, and making awesome crafts!

We follow Safe Saunctuaries guidelines to keep kids safe from abuse at church functions.
