2025 Missouri Preaching Academy – May 6-7 

As pastors, there are times when we step into the pulpit, and the Good News is just flowing through us. Yet, there are other times when we may not feel that Good News for ourselves, but we need to proclaim it. These contrasting feelings are our focus this year at Preaching Academy. Join us this May as we will hear from pastors who have faced situations when they have felt broken-hearted, anxious or burned-out and even joyful when others in their ministry context are not. We will learn from their experiences and engage in small group work to help process times when you have had to do the same.

Appointment Changes Announced

For the next few months upcoming changes to clergy appointments will be announced routinely on the Missouri Conference website at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays. Pending appointments are posted after the local congregations have been informed about moves. Typically, appointments transition following the “Fixing of Appointments” service at the conclusion of Annual Conference Session in June, with clergy starting at their new appointments on the first Sunday of July.
