Appointment Changes Announced

This time of year, upcoming changes to clergy appointments will be announced on the Missouri Conference website at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays most weeks. 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.
