The town has two churches.
Christ Church, Church of England, which is a Grade II listed building, was founded in 1894.
The minister is Rev Julie Jones and the vicarage is situated on Mowbeck Lane.
The church has a graveyard and an affiliated junior school adjacent.

St Joseph's Roman Catholic was founded in 1885.
The church also has a graveyard and an affiliated junior school adjacent, as well as an attached presbytery on Mowbreck Lane.
The foundation stone for the church was laid, on 13 July 1884, by O'Reilly after two members of the local Billington family left funds for the construction of a Catholic church in Wesham.
The church was consecrated and dedicated to St Joseph on 18 March 1886 in a large ceremony, led by Robert Cornthwaite, Bishop of Leeds.
It was opened for the public on the following Sunday, 21 March 1886.
In 2011 the parish was linked with that of St John the Evangelist's Church, Kirkham, and in 2013 the two joined to become a single parish, the Parish of the Holy Cross.

The Primitive Methodist chapel, located nearest to the small town square, was founded in 1895.
It has now been converted to private dwellings, but retains its main architectural features including foundation stones.
