Confluence: A Center for Spirituality | Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

Confluence: A Center for Spirituality was founded in the Spring of 2010 by the Rev. Steve Lawler and the Rev. Susan Skinner.

This “roofless” community grew out of a desire to help people deepen and enrich their spiritual lives. We seek to join each person’s journey by providing opportunities and resources for spiritual formation.

Open to all people regardless of denomination or faith group, Confluence fulfills its purpose by offering retreats, spiritual direction, quiet days, and workshops devoted to the spiritual life.

We believe in a loving, life-giving and liberating God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe God loves you -- no exceptions!

We invite you to be a part of our faith journey.

The Rt. Rev. Deon K. Johnson is the leader of our diocese. He was elected as our bishop on Nov. 23, 2019, and ordained on June 13, 2020, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.

Approximately 10,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Missouri find their faith home with us. About three-quarters of our members are in the metro St. Louis area, but our diocese reaches much farther than St. Louis. You will find more than 40 Episcopal churches, missions and faith communities as far north as Kirksville, as far west as Columbia, and as far south as Poplar Bluff (and many points in between).

If you are looking for a church home or a just a faith community to visit, we invite you to explore The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri.
