Pioneering Minecraft Church in Blackburn

Find out more about this quietly successful pioneering initiative

‘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.

Watch the video below to see how much the young people enjoy it, how community is growing and how other family members are getting involved:
