Our Church & Centre History

The Church has always had a presence in Stonydelph since the estate was built in the 1970’s.

It had a very community oriented start, by holding its services in the local community centre, and using people’s homes for social gatherings, youth meetings and general get-togethers. It had such a good community following involving many different groups that it was only natural that a Church Community Centre should be planted. St Martin in the Delph was finally dedicated in 1990.

It is a purpose-built Church and Community Centre.  It is a two-tier building with an upstairs sports hall and dedicated Nursery space. Downstairs incorporates the main Worship Area, Chapel, meeting hall, meeting rooms, fully equipped kitchen, coffee shop, toilets and office. It has a welcoming reception area and a well-maintained Garden of Remembrance at the rear.
