St Thomas' Church started out as a humble and simple structure built from stone carted by farmers from the quarries at Aughton. Before its completion in 1841, members of the congregation would have to walk a distance of close to 6 miles for Sunday services. This much-loved church was eventually largely rebuilt, giving its devoted congregation a more refined place of worship. This beautifully adorned church is a testament to the will and determination of the congregation that led to its creation. Regular services are held along with a number of special services and events aimed to foster and strengthen community spirit.

St Paul's Church was originally established as a chapel in 1776, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.

Although simple, the church building still maintains an air of magnificence with its high ceilings, graceful arches and sparkling stained glass windows. Although over 100 years old, the church is very much in touch with more modern practices, and supports a number of child and youth oriented groups. In line with their motto "come as you are", St. Paul's welcomes all with open arms and genuine acceptance.
