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.

Installation of the last piece of HVAC equipment was completed with the hope of getting the final Fire Marshall sign off. The Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Southlake should then be coming any time now!
Work continues on the exterior masonry of The Great Hall as well as interior drywall installation.
Forming for the additional concrete on top of and around the bridge is continuing. Grading for the drive that connects the new vehicle bridge with the back parking lot has begun. Work has also begun on the Pedestrian Bridge.

Unfortunately we lost some time due to the winter weather. This affected not just the completion of work but also inspection schedules with the Fire Marshall and other city officials. The team is working hard to catch up and reschedule inspections as soon as possible so we can get the certificate of occupancy for the Children’s Ministry Building.
As the weather cleared this week, final clean up, painting and trim work is being completed in the Children’s Ministry Building.
In The Great Hall, interior drywall installation is progressing quickly.

In the Children’s Ministry Building, the electrical circuits and fire protection system are being tested and turned on. Final painting, trim work, flooring, hardware, and windows are all in the process of being completed. The nursery playground and associated sidewalk has been poured.
In The Great Hall, exterior masonry work and window installation continues. Drywall, electrical and technology wiring are being installed.
The footer and foundation concrete has been poured for the new stone wall along Kimball Avenue.
Concrete box culverts have all been placed for the vehicle bridge and concrete forms are being constructed to complete the roadway from the bridge to the back parking lot.
Heaters are in place to keep temperatures regulated during this weekend's winter storm.

All work is being concentrated on the Children’s Ministry Building so it can be completed by our deadline. Installed this week were plumbing fixtures for bathrooms and sinks, floor tile in the Atrium, new door and window frames with associated masonry, ceiling tile, hook ups for water and fire control systems, and components for technology and security access control. The old windows are also being replaced with new ones.
The new sidewalk has been poured between the Church, Chapel, Music Building and Children’s Ministry Building. The walkway to the Chapel and Music Building has reopened.
In The Great Hall, exterior stone installation continues.
