St Martin’s Church Acrise offers traditional Anglican worship with a broad mix ministry team.
St Martins is a beautiful place, a place of quiet and tranquillity in an ever changing world. It is a beautiful place to worship, be married, christened or confirmed. It is a place where the veil is thin between heaven and earth.
Please visit us to worship or just to be close to God in whatever way you find God. You will find a big welcome from our regulars.
Services - See The WORD & Services section for current services
St Martin’s, Acrise holds Holy Communion, led by Priests, along with Matins services and Services of the Word, led by Lay Readers and an Authorised Lay Minister (ALM), Fellowship services and Family Services for special dates.
All our Services, including special festivals, such as Christmas Day, Easter Sunday and Mothering Sunday are held at 09:30. With occasional “specials” in the afternoon; examples of these would be Taize services, Good Friday meditation and passion, Nine Lessons and Carols for both Advent and Christmas.
Services usually follow this pattern:
1st Sunday - Holy Communion
2nd Sunday - Matins (Traditional language)
3rd Sunday - Morning Prayer (Common Worship)
4th Sunday - Service of the Word (Common Worship) or occasionally, Family Service
All ages are welcome to our services with children, although there are no specific facilities for children due unfortunately, to lack of space.

Accessibility
We have step-free access, with a slight incline, to the church from the car park, although the path is uneven in places. We have a hearing-loop. There are no toilet or kitchen facilities, nor handrails.
Access to the carpark, which has a hard surface, is via an unmade track which has a narrow gateway.
