Welcome to St Laurence Church, Winslow.
The people who make up St Laurence's are a vibrant community who love celebrating life in God and who try to be supportive to one another in good times and in bad.
The church sits in the centre of town near Market Square. You would be very welcome to join us for any of our services or events, to visit this historic building or simply to come in for a quiet time of reflection and prayer.
Our worship is a mixture of styles. We have a large all-age choir and an enthusiastic congregation who are warm and welcoming.
We aspire to be a fully inclusive church and welcome people of any age as well as those with protected characteristics and members of the LGBTQI+ community. Our church is served by ramps into and out of the building for wheelchair users and we have installed a new sound system with improved loop services. We have a servery at the back of the church which serves refreshments after each service, and toilets and baby changing facilities in the adjacent St Laurence Rooms.
The parish of Winslow is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Oxford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO Frances Gabriel on [email protected]. Alternatively the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor can be contacted with urgent safeguarding concerns on 01865 208 295 or email [email protected] Monday to Thursday 9am – 5pm and Friday 9am – 4.30pm. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
