Parish Church of St Lawrence

Welcome to the warm and welcoming church community that is Waltham St Lawrence, and our sister church at Shottesbrooke. Here you will receive a friendly response and find a mix of younger and older members, who love to be together, share and sing. 

We invite you to come and meet us at our services in church, or online, or at one of our church events like the weekly 3G coffee morning, the monthly St Lawrence Cafe, or Church Teas in the summer. 

Waltham St Lawrence as a parish is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies - see the Diocese safeguarding pages for links and information including contacts.  If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or might be at risk, please contact the DSA.  If you have an immediate concern about someone's safety, contact the police.
