    Product Description

    Making Disciples in Messy Church helps those involved in Messy Church understand the movement, and create an intentional disciple-making community.

    Paul Moore, who has been involved from the beginning in 2004, writes this book to answer the skeptical questions many have asked of the Messy movement: “are people becoming Christians at Messy Church.” He proudly announces a massive ‘yes’, but wants to encourage groups to continue the gospel journey by focusing their attention on discipleship.

    Through storytelling, personal experience, analysing the faith journey, and using biblical modals of discipleship from the Old & New Testament, Paul compiles a convincing and practical guide. In reading this book, ministers, leaders and volunteers will discover the untapped potential within their groups for genuine discipleship through the resource they have already created – community.

    About the Author

    Paul Moore is Vicar of St Wilfrid's Church, Cowplain, an Anglican church near Portsmouth, and a member of the team that launched the first Messy Church in 2004. In addition to being involved in running Messy Church, he has followed the development of Messy Church across the UK and worldwide, with a particular focus on research into the theological and practical aspects of nurturing faith and making disciples. Paul is also a Vocations Adviser for Portsmouth Diocese. When not getting messy, he enjoys listening to progressive rock and playing jazz saxophone.

    Messy Church has been widely and enthusiastically adopted as a proven and effective way of introducing families to an experience of Christian community and the good news of Jesus. Sceptics ask, 'Are people becoming Christians through Messy Church?' The evidence is clear that they are. But the next challenging question is, 'Can Messy Church also nurture their faith and make these converts into disciples?'

    The aim of this book, by telling stories, analysing the journey to faith, and reflecting on what being a disciple means and the various methods of making disciples found in scripture and church tradition, is to encourage ministers and lay leaders to see how their Messy Church can be an intentional disciple-making community.
