Inclusive Church

 Inclusive Church is a network of churches, groups and individuals uniting together around a shared vision.

We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

Friends of St Laurence

Friends of St Laurence is an informal association of people who would want to help us sustain and build on our vision to be a church that serves the people of Winslow and shapes the community spirit that is so valuable to the town. 

We started up the Friends to allow the local community to support their church and the work it does, whether they are regular churchgoers or not.

We ask Friends to consider a regular monthly donation to St Laurence, and we keep in touch and ensure Friends are invited to various events. 

If you are interested in becoming a Friend, please contact George Hooper.
