Laura Lenander
Laura is the Interim Leader at Telford Minster, an artist, and a priest with a heart for renewal in the church through the Holy Spirit. She trained for ordination at St Mellitus College, London, following degrees in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths College, London. Before ordination, she taught art, and this creative foundation continues to shape her ministry. She is passionate about seeing people explore their own creative gifts as a way of worship and encountering God’s presence.
At the heart of Laura’s ministry is a deep longing for individuals and churches to experience the renewing power of the Holy Spirit. She desires to see people grow in confidence in hearing God’s voice, stepping into spiritual gifts, and living transformed lives. She believes that as the church is renewed, communities are changed, and the love of Jesus is made known in fresh and powerful ways.
In her spare time, Laura enjoys creating art, exploring nature, and finding inspiration in beauty - whether in a gallery, a conversation, or the changing seasons.
