St Matthew's, Wookey

Welcome to our page on A Church Near You!

St Matthew's Church is a beautiful church in the village of Wookey, 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.

There are services almost every Sunday, with a Holy Communion without hymns on most of the 1st Sundays of the month. On the 2nd Sunday of the month, there is a Holy Communion or morning worship. On the 4th Sunday of the month there is Holy Communion.

On the 3rd Sunday of the month, we all join together to worship, and the location of services is rotated between the three churches in the benefice. If there's a 5th Sunday in a month, this is also a joint service, and rotated between the three churches in the benefice.

There is also a weekly Holy Communion service which is held every Wednesday. 

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!
