We are a progressive synagogue of diverse households living and celebrating Reform Judaism. We welcome and embrace congregants from all backgrounds, including interfaith families. Our temple is centrally located in the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur, Missouri. Our beautiful grounds and facilities include a large Sanctuary, an intimate Chapel, an auditorium, a commercial quality kitchen, a religious school/preschool building, a playground, an in-ground swimming pool for our summer camp and ample parking.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR WORSHIP SERVICES Our services seek to worship God in many ways: through praise, prayer, song, sermon and sacrament. There is an informal formality to our worship service. The basic order of our service remains largely the same each week, yet within that familiar framework there is variety and innovation. We worship with our head and heart. We respect tradition but embrace change. You'll find a worship service that is warm, welcoming and thoughtful. If you're tired of hearing the same old answers to the same old questions, give us a try. Worship is held at the Clayton Road (main) Church, with the exception of Memorial Weekend (May 25th), July 6th, August 3rd and Labor Day Weekend (August 31st), when we will worship at the Old Des Peres Church. To find out more about Faith Des Peres, please visit us on Sunday mornings at 10:30.
Our Identity We identify with Mary and Elizabeth in the mystery of the Visitation of carrying Christ to others in joy and gentle service. We were founded in 2003 by an order of nuns who were originally founded in 1610 in Annecy France by Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal who believed that holiness could be found in our everyday normal life experiences. Our motto, Live Jesus, is an invitation and a goal for us each day to be carried out in our thoughts, words and actions through this window of opportunity.
Some of the games we've transformed include Candy Land, Sorry, and Operation. No matter which one you order, you'll get a one-of-a-kind keepsake made to your specifications and unlike anything you'll find in a retail or online store.
