Information

The present Parish Church of St Laurence stands on a site which has been used for Christian worship since the middle of the 13th century, when Scots King Alexander III erected a chapel in honour of St Laurence as a memorial to his late wife Margaret.
The present building is relatively modern. Its foundation stone was laid on 17th August 1904 and the building was first opened for worship on 28th February 1906.
Today's congregation numbers approximately 600 made up of full communicant members, adherents (regular worshippers) and supplementary roll members. It represents a fair cross-section of the ages, employment and backgrounds of modern Forresians. Its life and witness is led by its Kirk Session (Minister and Elders), and a Congregational Board, elected by the congregation, administers its finances and property.
In its worship and other activities the aim is to strengthen people's faith, and to encourage service of Christ in today's world.
(for more information see the church's section on the website)
