Wookey Church are committed to making the churchyard a good place for local wildlife.

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

On the 1st Sunday of the month, there is a Holy Communion without hymns, known as Quiet Holy Communion. 

On the 2nd Sunday of the month, there is an informal morning worship with hymns, which is called Inspire.

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. 

On the 4th Sunday of the month there is Holy Communion.

If there's a 5th Sunday in a month, this is also a joint service, and rotated between the three churches in the benefice.

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 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!
