Lighthouse Community Church, located in North Norfolk, is a member of the Baptist Union and part of the Pioneer movement. The church gathers every Sunday morning with around 100 to 150 people of all ages for worship, praise, and an engaging talk centered on Jesus. Children and young people have their own activities, while a creche is provided for the younger ones. The church also offers a range of activities throughout the week, including a cafe, soft play zone, family meals, community lunches, and a community shop.
In addition to its regular activities, Lighthouse Community Church is involved in outreach efforts in the community. The church hosts a toddler group, events for fathers and children, worship times, social groups, and more. The church also partners with other organizations like Christians Against Poverty and Hope Into Action to provide support and housing for those in need. Lighthouse plays a significant role in BeachLife, a program that offers free activities for children and young people during the summer holidays.
Over the past year, Lighthouse Community Church has seen growth and positive developments. The church recently became debt-free after repaying all of its loans. The youth ministry is thriving, with many young people finding God for themselves. The church has also seen an increase in attendance at its toddler group and soft play facilities, as well as positive feedback from the town on its community work. Looking ahead, the church hopes to expand its building to accommodate its growing activities and continue its mission to serve the community and spread the gospel.
Lighthouse Community Church describes itself as a work in progress, a family on a mission, and a messy yet beautiful church. The church is dedicated to serving its community in Sheringham, Cromer, Holt, and surrounding villages, with a vision of influencing nations and spreading the gospel inspired by the Holy Spirit and the servant-heart of Jesus.
