Welcome to the website of the
Parish Church of St. Martin, Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
The Team Parish of Brighouse and Clifton is to be disbanded with its three churches becoming independent parishes. St. Martin's, Brighouse and St. John's, Clifton will form a United Benefice under the leadership of the Revd. Dr. Stephen Spencer (Fr. Stephen) who is supported in his ministry by a Licenced Reader, Ian Knowles (Ian).
The liturgical tradition at St. Martin's is broad catholic with Common Worship as the primary style. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly using the Book of Common Prayer and there is a Choral Evensong on the third Sunday of each month. On the first Sunday of each month the Music Group leads the singing at an All Age Eucharist.
St. Martin's Parish Church is the Parish Church of Brighouse. The church building is a large Victorian structure with a big "wow factor" on entering through the west door. The building was sympathetically re-ordered between 2000 and 2006 to include flexible seating, enhanced lighting, heating system, decorations, nave altar, sound system with loop and stations of the cross. The Community area (known as the Sugden Suite in memory of benefactors in the 1900s) comprises Reception/Meeting Room, Kitchen, Toilets with Baby Change and Parish Office. Facilities for the disabled include an access pathway from the public highway, reception and nave on the same level.
Members of St. Martin's have a tradition of service to both the local community and the wider community in West Yorkshire.
Visitors are assured of a warm and friendly welcome from an all age congregation.
A superb pipe Organ, 8 Bells in the Tower, excellent acoustics and a beautiful interior contribute to the appeal of St. Martin's as a concert, exhibition and wedding venue and as the choice of professionals for sound recordings.
