The idea is being piloted by the Diocese of Bath and Wells in the south west of the country.
The internet company Wild West Net is working with the diocese in Wellington and the Somerset Levels to provide communities with faster, more efficient internet connections.
Church towers are often the tallest buildings in rural areas and will be used as a fixed point to project a signal across the countryside.
The project has been a work in progress for two years and two piolet schemes are now in operation to help businesses as well as local people.
One connection is planned for a cluster of churches around Ashbrittle, just outside Wellington and the second is for the Levels.
The diocese has emphasised the impact internet can have on the Levels particularly in the event of flooding.
The news comes after the government announced that the roll-out of superfast broadband has reached more than three million homes and businesses.
The government scheme is coordinated by Connecting Devon & Somerset and it aims to reach 90% of premises by the end of 2016.
Richard Tulloch, Church Use and Visitors Adviser at the Diocese of Bath and Wells said: "Whilst the progress made so far by CDS is commendable, what of the remaining 10%? They are likely to be those in the most rural areas.
"Our churches exist to serve everyone in the local community and be at the very heart of community life.
"There is no better way to demonstrate this than using our towers - typically the tallest buildings in rural areas - to complement the roll out of superfast broadband in our county."
Tim Newman, managing director of Wild West Net, added: "We are delighted to have been approached by the Diocese of Bath and Wells and are looking forward to working with the diocese and its parishes across Somerset."
