Bridge Communities is a growing network of worshipping communities passionate about following Jesus and creating authentic, accessible expressions of church beyond traditional walls.

We’re seeking a Spirit-filled, pioneering leader to join us part-time (0.5 FTE) to help grow micro-church through micro-community across Ipswich, Stowmarket, Holbrook, and beyond.

You’ll be someone who loves God deeply, leads collaboratively, teaches the Bible with openness, and builds relationships through hospitality, prayer, and creativity. A heart for families, the unchurched, and community mission is essential.

Bridge Communities is part of the Lightwave Community within the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich. This post is flexible for the right person:

The DBF is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory DBS check.

The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.

Safeguarding is an integral part of the mission and ministry of the church in this diocese and is in line with our Growing in God strategy. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

For further information please email Archdeacon Samantha.
