Over the last few months, thirty churches from around the country heard about Bubble Church and got excited enough to take the next step forward. Teams from these thirty churches came together for regional training days to learn how to launch Bubble Church and have now formed into learning communities. All of these thirty churches will launch by early 2024.
Here’s what some of the recently trained churches had to say about launching their Bubble Churches:
- “I love the way that Bubble Church is specifically tailored to the youngest children. It's an authentic church service and it contains everything that excited me when I was that age. Everything is carefully thought through so that although it's short and simple, it packs a proper punch. It was so encouraging to spend time with people from other churches in our area with a heart for ministry for children and young families and that there will be other people in other places stepping out in faith too.” - Gemma, St Mary’s Templecombe
- "We just love how everything about Bubble Church is so accessible and well thought through. The support we have been given by the team has been outstanding, taking all of the stress out of our preparations to launch the service. The training day was a mixture of fun, fellowship and support. We came away feeling equipped, enthused, supported and confident and we just can't wait to get started!" - Sharon, All Saints South Cave
- “There are lots of toddlers in our villages but we don’t see them in church. ‘Bubble Church is coming!’ has already started a buzz around young families. And the training day was the best fun I’ve had in ages.” - Dan, St Oudoceus Llandogo
- “I’m looking forward to meeting more young families and helping to bring them into our church family and think that Bubble Church will be the perfect tool for that!” - Helena, St Mary’s Beverley
Vicar of Ascension Marcus Gibbs was there at the very beginning for the creation of Bubble Church. He says, “We’ve seen incredible growth and discipleship at Ascension; what a privilege to be part of effectively planting 30 new churches! We have been so blown away by what God is doing across the nation and look forward with excitement to the impact on local communities and building God’s kingdom together.”
