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.
