The Parish Church known as Kirk Christ was built in 1775 and is an impressive white building. It is very well cared for and has space for approximately 220 parishioners. It has its own churchyard which is well maintained and meaningful to the many people who visit the church, especially during the holiday season. Rushen Parish Churchyard, which is still open, is situated approximately 100 metres from the church.

Although the church does not have its own hall, there is time for fellowship after services when coffee is served to those who attend them. This gives parishioners quality time to meet each other and enjoy the company that this affords.

St Peter’s Church is situated in the quaint village of Cregneash. Here the National Folk Museum, a living museum of a Manx upland crofting community including thatched cottages and farm buildings, can be found. For this reason the church is visited by many holidaymaker's on a daily basis.
The church was built in 1865 and has space for approximately 65 parishioners and/or visitors. The nave has not been consecrated. It does not have a hall for fellowship after services. However provision is made for refreshments in the church after special services.

St Mary’s Church can be found in the centre of Port St Mary. It was built in 1884 and holds approximately 160 parishioners. Adjacent to the church is a purpose built hall with a fully equipped kitchen, which was erected in 1986. It is used both by the church and secular organisations and on three Sundays in each month by the Sunday School.
