Rooted in a Strong Foundation
Rising to Support Our Future Generations
St. Laurence Church is building a new Parish Hall, called The Great Hall, and refurbishing the old Parish Hall into our new Children’s Ministry Building.
Spaces are being created where we can all gather, where we can serve, teach, our youth can grow and where the mission of the Church can flourish. God has brought us tremendous growth and through Him, this expansion is possible.
