Lightwave is about shining God’s light in Suffolk. A 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.Â
Lightwave groups do the essential things of a church – but in different ways, suited to the needs of members in a small group who get to know each other well. So there are no sermons – but they study the Bible and try to put it into practice in our lives, eating together, having fun, supporting each other and trying to put faith to work in practical care for friends and neighbours and the most needy in our society. Â
Lightwave has a Bishop’s Mission Order in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and always seek to collaborate with and support more traditional ways of doing church too.Â
