Directions
The LCMS International Center is located in southwest St. Louis County near the intersection of Interstate 270 and Interstate 44 and across from the “Kirkwood Commons” shopping center.
From Kirkwood Road, enter the International Center’s driveway (marked by a large blue and red metal sculpture) and proceed up the hill.
Visitor parking is located on the right side of the street. Fronted by a lake where swans “Martin” and “Katie” take residence, the International Center is the four-story granite and glass building on the left.
To find handicapped parking, continue driving past the main entrance and make a left turn at the first stop sign.
Once parked, follow the sidewalk past the flagpoles to the main entrance, where a receptionist at the front desk will assist you.
