St Michael and All Angels Church is located in the heart of Somerton,
the 'Ancient Royal Town of Wessex'. Parts of the church building date from the early
13th century, whilst other parts have been added as recently as 2004.
As well as housing regular worship for all ages and being a tranquil place for prayer,
the church is also used for concerts and other community events especially during
the annual Somerton Arts Festival.
Services take place each Sunday at 8am, 11am, and 6:30pm and we hold a 10am Communion
Service each Wednesday. We also provide monthly services at Wessex House,
(a local nursing home), and at two Warden controlled units Parsonage Close and
Laburnum Drive. There are of course also additional services as required to mark
Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms. Our other regular church activities include house
groups, Mothers Union meetings, bell ringing, Junior Church, and singing group.
St Michael's is part of the United Benefice of Somerton with Compton Dundon,
The Charltons and Kingsdon, five parishes in total who seek to work together to
promote the Kingdom of God in this area.
NOTE: The church building is currently undergoing refurbishment.
The building is currently closed until the work is completed.
Until then, all Church services will take place in the Parish Rooms.
