The town remains among the largest ecclesiastical parishes of the [[Diocese of London]] within the [[Church of England]]. The parish church of St Dunstan and the Parish of Feltham have joined with two other churches to create a larger Ecumenical Parish of Feltham founded in the late 1970s. This joins the church together in activities and church services with Southville Methodist Church and the United Free Church of Feltham.
