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.

  • The Hydromulch grass seed has now been sprayed onto the ground around the office to replace the grass that did not survive the bridge construction process. It is a lovely shade of blue at the moment. 

  • Construction has begun on the outdoor grill and the Altar in the Outdoor Chapel. The team met with the decorator this past week and plans for the furniture in the Atrium, Parish Hall lobby, and Back Patio are getting closer.

  • The railing on the Pedestrian Bridge has now been painted black. Hydromulch grass seed is scheduled to be sprayed onto the ground around the office to replace the grass that did not survive the bridge construction process. 

  • We are wrapping up the final details with the City of Southlake and should have our final approval soon. This means that it is possible that in a few short days we may have our complete Certificate of Occupancy on the entire property, including the Vehicle and Pedestrian Bridges and the back drive. Construction will then be done. Wow! 

  • Construction will soon be done, but the project still has many areas left to finish before we can say that everything is done. These include: furniture and decorations, built in grill and counter outside, Altar and flower pots in the Outdoor Chapel, signage all around the property, and a built in welcome desk/bookstore in the lobby of the Parish Hall.
