Now Accepting Applications
The Missouri Conference is now accepting applications for two new Lilly Foundation–funded ministry programs:
- Big Worship Little Disciples is a nine-month experience designed to help churches create engaging, intentional and intergenerational worship that includes children and families.
- Congregations in Action is an 18-month program supporting churches as they clarify vision and live out their mission beyond church walls.
Applications for both programs are due March 13.
Additionally, Next Generation Ministries is bringing back the Conference Youth Leadership Team, offering youth opportunities for spiritual growth, leadership development, service and meaningful connection across the Annual Conference. Through retreats, training and mission experiences, participants will be empowered to use their gifts to make a difference in the church today and for the future.
