The Lightwave Community
Lightwave is about shining God's light in Suffolk. We are a dispersed Christian community, meeting in small groups, especially in rural areas. The name comes from the idea of light waves being the way in which light spreads into dark places.
Lightwave shares the light of Jesus in practical ways. Our groups are involved in combatting isolation and poverty, engage in youth work, care for creation and agricultural chaplaincy.
We believe that Jesus calls all people to follow him and is concerned with our everyday lives. We aim to be church for people who don't normally "do church" and our groups may meet in homes, pubs, offices, schools as well as churches.
We are part of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and always seek to collaborate with and support more traditional churches too.
Our vision is for more people to come to know the light of Christ in Suffolk. We pray that each group is part of a great wave of God’s love.
