It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kendal, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle.

Its benefice is united with those of six local churches to form the Kirkby Lonsdale Team Ministry.

It has a three-light west window, under which is a plaque recording the rebuilding of the church, and incorporating a panel with the date 1726.
