Ten Lamps Group is a group of ten villages whose Anglican and Methodist churches have agreed to work together to develop and maintain thriving Christian communities in all ten villages. The Group was formed in 2006.

On the third Sunday of every month the group comes together to worship. The host church determines the exact nature of the worship, but each service lasts for about an hour and contain teaching, worship in song, prayer and readings from the Bible. These services include different styles of worship and endeavour to encourage individuals to go deeper spiritually.<ref> </ref>
