"Saint Nicholas is a very positive church with a very welcoming atmosphere."

"Excellent church for children with a great Sunday school - JAM"

"Saint Nicholas has a 'user friendly' service."

"I've only been attending regularly since February 2018. I was made to feel most welcome by everyone to such an extent that I now feel at ease attending the services."

"The congregation feel like a family, and the support from them is wonderful in times of trouble."

"I've been attending for a couple of years now and have been impressed and grateful for the kindness and inclusiveness of the people at the church, to me that really speaks the message of God's love."

The Blackburn Diocese 2026 Vision's message is 'Healthy Churches Transforming Communities'. St Nicholas Church is endeavouring to do this.

St Michael

Welcome to St Michael's. When you first come into St Michael's Church through the porch door on the north side of the building, you step into a beautiful 19 Century Church that you can at once feel has been looked after and loved by generations of the many people who have worshipped in this Parish.

The church was built on land that was donated to the village by the 13th Earl of Derby. Much of the land in this part of the Fylde belonged to the Earls of Derby. It was built by funds raised by public subscription in 1843, and extended by adding the chancel in 1846.

Our Parish consists of the villages of Weeton with Preese, Westby with Plumptons, and Greenhalgh with Thistleton. One of the loveliest parts of the Fylde, just a few miles from the market town of Kirkham, the City of Preston, and many coastal resorts, Blackpool being the major one, and smaller quieter resorts of Lytham St Annes, and Fleetwood.

The parish of Weeton: St Michael is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Blackburn’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services."
