Christ Church, Coxley

Join us at this Holy Communion service, which is a chance for people from all three parishes to worship together each month. The service is for all ages, with singing, Bible readings, prayers, and a short talk. There is space for children to play and be creative in the church, or they can join in with the service. This is a more relaxed church service than other Holy Communion services, making it great if you're exploring your faith. Everyone is welcome, and there's a chance to chat to other people after the service over coffee.

Christ Church, Henton

Welcome to our page on A Church Near You! 

Christ Church Henton is a beautiful church in the village of Henton, near Wells. We are part of a group of 3 churches and 4 parishes, known as a benefice, which are looked after by Revd Jan Shellard-James.

The first phase of Revitalising Christ Church Henton is starting in January 2026, so the church will be closed from Monday 29th December, with plans to reopen in early May 2026. 

On the 1st Sunday of the month there is a relaxed service over breakfast at Henton Village Hall, which is free, and very much enjoyed. Sunday Breakfast will continue to take place while the church is closed, as this takes place at Henton Village Hall. The weekly prayer meeting will also continue to take place, at a private home in Henton.

While the revitalisation work is taking place people are encouraged to visit Christ Church Coxley or St Matthew's Church, Wookey. Some services at the other churches have been added to Henton's service schedule, but please visit the churches individual pages.

You are very welcome to come to any of our services or events, and details of these can be found on this website, or on our own website www.chwchurches.co.uk There are also more details about the this church and the benefice on our website.

If you have any enquiries about baptisms, christenings, weddings, funerals or memorials please get in touch with us.

We look forward to welcoming you to our church!
