Core Values

The BigChurchDayOut is a two-day event that demonstrates the Church’s unity, and in many ways also celebrates its’ diversity.

Friendly, inclusive and relaxed, the event is open to everyone, regardless of whether they are part of a church or not, or what type of church that may be.

The event provides a chance for Christians to see that they are part of a bigger family, to meet that family and to be inspired by it. Likewise, those who serve sacrificially and endlessly in their local church communities throughout the rest of the year, here can find space to relax and celebrate life.

Through focused times of prayer, and through worship, the BigChurchDayOut seeks to affect the lives of individuals, and to influence the spiritual atmosphere of the region, and those regions to which visitors return afterwards.

The BigChurchDayOut aims to create a unique opportunity in the UK for many worship leaders, musicians and artists from across the world, to be enjoyed at one single event. It also aims to encourage and expose creativity though providing a platform for many to share their talents.

Striving for excellence in everything it does, the BigChurchDayOut hopes to showcase the very best that the church has to offer, and to encourage music, encourage vision, and encourage being family together.

Likewise, the event provides an opportunity to promote social justice and missions issues, by giving a platform to various organizations, and allowing them to engage a wider audience in their vision.

Through these components, the BigChurchDayOut aims to demonstrate the life and vibrancy within the UK church, and to demonstrate the love of God to everyone it touches. It also hopes that this story, that of the church being very much alive, will not only be told by those who attend, but also told through mainstream media opportunities to a watching world.
