As many of you know Confluence has struggled financially in recent months. Unfortunately, after many efforts, our business has not picked up and we are going to close Confluence on Friday November 6th.

Confluence was born out of a desire of The River Church to use the space we had been given as a place to bless the community. From the outpouring of support and encouragement we have received in the last few weeks, I think that blessing has been achieved. We would like to continue this ministry for a longer time but it does not look like that is possible at this point.

We would like to thank all of you for being part of this experience of community that has been Confluence. Without you this would not have been possible. We believe this is an amazing community to be part of and our church is excited to continue to be part of what God is doing in this area.

We have built relationships with many of you and great friendships. Our hope is that these will continue. We still believe in the vision of Confluence to bless this community and see it prosper. As a church, we plan to continue to be part of that vision and ask you to do the same. It all starts with simply loving your neighbor as God loves you. As time rolls forward, we plan to continue to see you in the community and plan to continue to build relationships together.

Thank you again for all of your support, business, and encouragement over the last 15 months. Please come out and join us this Friday evening as we celebrate what God has done through this place.

On Behalf of The River,

Joey Yokeley
Lead Pastor
