Located in Tipton County Tennessee, the Brighton ARP Church is the result of a merger of 2 older churches, Blloomington and Mt Paran . It was organized on April 25, 1896 by the Memphis and Lousiville Presbytery and is now a church in a church of Mississippi Valley Presbytery. Both Bloomington and Mt Paran were daughter churches of Salem.

In 1896 the two churches merged to form the Brighton Church, the building at Bloomington was taken down and moved to Brighton, whereit was used for the next 27 years. A brick building was constructed in 1923 and was used until a brick bulding replaced it in 1938. The present church building was completed in 1941. The fellwoship hall building was built in the 1980s.
