Church

ONE · BIG · FAMILY

Church doesn't have to be complicated. We're a small community learning to follow Jesus together — sharing food, the Bible and prayer around a table midweek.

Our heart

A church that starts in community.

Jesus designed his Church to be simple — a place where followers of Jesus connect with God and with one another. At Connect Church we're on a journey of exploration, taking the best of what the Bible says church should be. We want to be church, not just attend church.

  • A place of welcome, where people feel a part of
  • A community who really look after each other
  • A place to learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus
  • A space to pray, worship and share communion together
  • A place that inspires and equips one another to 'go and make disciples'
  • A community that positively impacts on the local community

We want a journey of church that starts in community — not in a building, routines, or a jazzy performance. Authentic. Real. Together.

Colin & Lisa Tapscott

Connect Church is run by Colin and Lisa Tapscott. They're passionate about building a church that feels like family — where everyone is welcome, no one has to pretend, and we figure out what it means to follow Jesus together.

Our meetings

Midweek.
Around a table.

We currently meet once a week, midweek, in homes in villages surrounding Debenham in Mid Suffolk UK, to share a meal together followed by Bible study and prayer. Everyone is welcome — whether you've been following Jesus for years or are just curious to explore.
