It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Ormskirk, the archdeaconry of Wigan and West Lancashire, and the diocese of Liverpool.

[3] At this time it was a chapel of ease to St Cuthbert, Halsall, and it became a separate parish in its own right in 1871.

[4] Additions were made to the church in 1912, including the chancel, a south chapel and a north vestry, by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley.

Its plan consists of a four-bay nave, a chancel with a south chapel and a north vestry, and a west tower.

Inside the church is a west gallery carried on two octagonal iron columns.
