St. Andrew’s forms, together with the Parishes of St. Martin’s in Fivehead and St. Catherine’s in Swell, a ‘United Benefice’ within the Deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster.

This Deanery has several Local Ministry Groups (LMG) and lies within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Whilst we aim to work and worship together as a United Benefice, each church has its unique identity and Parochial Church Council (PCC).

The times of the church services are published in the Curry Rivel News and the Fivehead News, along with any changes to the regular pattern of worship (see separate article) and special services.

St. Andrew’s has a loudspeaker & loop system installed for those with difficulty in hearing.  Wheelchair access is via the North door.  Large print hymn books are available.  If transport is a problem, lifts to and from church can be arranged.

If you wish to arrange a Baptism, Wedding or Funeral during the Rector's absence (see below, text in red), please contact the Churchwarden Mrs Margaret Chadbourne on 01458-252233.

Please note that the Rector has been 'out of office' due to ill health since mid-September 2011 and will retire at the end of May 2012.  For any queries or in case of need for pastoral care, please contact a Churchwarden or the PCC Secretary (see the list with 'contacts').
