I believe the answer is:

viscera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'organs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'churches finally welcomed by vicar with time' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'welcomed by' indicates putting letters inside (letters welcomed inside).
'vicar with' becomes 'vic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
The final letter of 'churches' is 's'.
's' going into 'vic' is 'visc'.
'visc'+'era'='VISCERA'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for viscera that I've seen before include "organs inside" , "Entrails -- CIS rave (anag)" , "Abdominal organs -- cars vie (anag)" , "Internal organs, intestines" , "Guts" .)
