St Laurence

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.
