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.

Follow along here where you’ll find the last 4 weeks of progress updates with pictures. To see the log of all updates for the entire project, click the button below.


  • The new tables are now in the main room of the Parish Hall. We have several weeks to wait before the new chairs arrive, but they’re nice and cushy. You’re going to love them!  

  • A decorator has been engaged to design a plan for furniture and artwork in the Atrium, lobby and hallway of the Parish Hall, back patio and the outdoor chapel. She is donating her design services and the furniture will be funded through additional donations. 

  • New items that will begin soon are a built-in outdoor grill for the back patio, a built in welcome desk/bookstore in the lobby of the Parish Hall and an Altar for the Outdoor Chapel.

  • The railing on the Pedestrian Bridge is now in place and will be painted black to match the rest of the railings and fences on the property. Punch list items continue.

  • The new tables for the Parish Hall have arrived and will be moved into the Main Room shortly. Chairs are on order but will take a couple of months to come in. Plans for the remaining furniture needs are being developed.

  • This week the fence to enclose the prayer garden was installed. The middle section is a gate. Then this beautiful cross was hung in the flex space of the Children's Building. The St. Laurence Women's Group painted the individual small canvases and then Laura Daviau assembled them for the larger cross. Her husband, Bill, made the wooden cross that holds the canvases. We're thrilled! A punch list of all the clean up items is being tackled and the railing for the pedestrian bridge is being reworked.

  • The Parish Hall is now open and ready for everyone to enjoy. We still have furniture to come, decorating to do, a good bit of organization to accomplish and lots of finishing details to wrap up, but the building is complete.
