About Us
St Matthew's is one church family, worshipping and working together to the glory of God and his Son, Jesus Christ.
St Matthew's is part of a United Benefice with the Church of St John the Divine, Rastrick and is within the Diocese of Leeds in the Deanery of Brighouse and Elland.
We share one bread and wine in the Eucharist.
We look to the working of the Holy Spirit amongst us, in building up the kingdom of God.

We have regular house groups and nurture groups as advertised, as well as seasonal ones for Lent.
Annually, we mark Battle of Britain Sunday and Remembrance Sunday which the local RAF Association attend. Sadly in 2017, we received notice that the Rastrick branch of the RAF Association had been disbanded, as a result of falling numbers. We will miss their dignified presence at and contribution to our worship on these special occasions.
We also work closely with the Rastrick Group of Churches and Churches Together in Brighouse and Rastrick. The other Rastrick churches include St John's Church, Rastrick, Upper Edge Baptist Church , New Road Independent Family Church (now closed)
