It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kirkham, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the diocese of Blackburn.

[2] In 1721 the trustees of Nicolas Sharples' charity bought a plot of ground in the village from a Jane Whiteside and erected on it a small chapel, paid for by funds they had raised amongst themselves.

The small chapel was pulled down and on 13 May 1848 the new vicar, G L Parsons, laid the foundation stone for the present structure.

[7] An extension at west end of the church, completed in 2007, provided the village with a fully-equipped community centre.

The plan consists of a four-bay nave, with a tower attached to its south side, and a chancel with two short bays.
