Pioneering Minecraft Church in Blackburn

‘WHEN WE START INVITING YOUNG people to explore faith within that context, it’s really exciting for them,’ says Rev Kevin Colyer of St James’ Church, Over Darwen.

Inspired by his own children’s love for Minecraft, he invited young people to come to explore Bible stories together in church and then create those stories in Minecraft.
