St Lawrence plays a focal role in the life of Gnosall maintaining a Christian presence in the attractive Staffordshire village where the church has stood since Anglo-Saxon times. Today, the church aims to serve Christ in the community, presenting the good news of Jesus to all ages in a relevant way. There are strong partnerships with other faith groups; village organisations and the school. Whether you are a visitor; wanting to know more or a committed Christian, St Lawrence offers a welcome to all.

Our style is a central tradition, following Church of England services from Common Worship.

The church is open for private prayer from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
