Our Purpose
The people of Eastcote are the treasure of God’s Church
​
We are a Church of England parish in the borough of Hillingdon which originated as a mission plant in the hamlet of Eastcote. The founding of St Lawrence’s anticipated development of Eastcote to form part of suburban London.
We continue to provide a Christian witness in this community, offering resource for stability and integration for lives shaped through encounter with difference, adaptation to change, and evolutionary growth.
​
Inspired by the example of St Lawrence as a disciple of Jesus Christ, our vision is to see God’s grace and generosity shared as the gospel demonstrates its power at the interface of church life and local lives.
​
To affect this vision we:
-
worship God and offer spiritual nurture
-
resource activities and events with a community focus
-
build relationships which enable transforming encounter
-
develop and share our resources and facilities
Our Values
The spirit of St Lawrence Eastcote is expressed in how members of our congregation see our community’s core character:
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we work to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit as individuals and in our church community and expect these to be its hallmark:
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
