Suffolk Heights Group of Churches


Our Vision 

Engaging with our communities through the love of Christ

Experiencing sanctuary and stillness in our villages

Exploring how to love God and our neighbours through our Christian faith. 

Our group of churches is South of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk Heights is a thriving rural group of churches  made up of six individual parishes. Our strength is the balance of Benefice co-operation while supporting the individual character of each parish, fundamental to building our flourishing community. We recognise the value of the group through mutual support, the sharing of ideas, the pattern of worship and a strong Lay Ministry team.
