Missouri Net News [link removed] Gilmore Named Next Heartland District Superintendent
The Missouri Conference is announcing that Rev. David Gilmore will be the next Heartland District superintendent. Rev. Jim Simpson, the current Heartland District superintendent, will be retiring in June.
“I think David is a great fit for the Heartland district. He has extensive experience with the Heartland churches, leaders and communities," said Missouri Bishop Bob Farr. "In addition, he and his wife both have been deeply committed to the Kansas City metropolitan area."
Gilmore has served as senior pastor at Swope Park, St. Andrew and Centennial United Methodist churches in Kansas City. Gilmore’s wife, Kimiko Black Gilmore, is chief of staff in the chancellor’s office at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. For the past four years Gilmore has been the Director of Congregational Development and Revitalization in the New York Annual Conference.
"Judicatory experience in another conference is always beneficial to the work as a district superintendent," said Bishop Robert Farr. "He has learned a lot. Bishop Tom Bickerton and the New York Annual Conference is sad to lose him because he has done good work among them. We are happy to welcome our missionary home."

The above appointment announcement was posted on the Missouri Conference website this morning, along with a few others. From now until Annual Conference Session in June pending clergy appointments will be posted on the Conference website after local congregations have been informed of the upcoming change.
