The three resident members of Lyn’s House commit themselves to living as a Christian community for a minimum of one year, and to taking a leading role in the life and organising of Lyn’s House.  Residents live in “The Lodge”, a shared home, and are typically either studying or working in Cambridge.

Four small groups, made up of people of differing intellectual abilities, meet fortnightly in The Lodge for a simple meal and prayer – and just to spend time together. Each group of people stays together for at least a year. Every group has its own character, and it’s here that some of the deepest learning and growing happen: about ourselves, each other, and about knowing and trusting God.

Once a month, we hold tea parties for the whole community of Lyn’s House: friends, supporters, residents, trustees, volunteers all come together to spend time together over a cup of tea, and for a simple prayer. We also hold occasional movie nights and other special events.

We try to tell the story of what we’re learning together, and the difference it makes.  We wrote a book about Lyn’s House (see ‘Our Book’ under ‘About Us’). We are beginning a research project to help us share our story and experience with others (see ‘Our Project’). We are happy to accept invitations from local churches and faith or community groups to come and speak about Lyn’s House.  To find out more, please contact us.
