Welcome to the Missouri Mid-South Conference!
The Missouri Mid-South Conference is the collection of 139 local congregations in the United Church of Christ denomination. We cover the geographic region of Missouri, Arkansas, and Memphis, TN. Within these congregations are over 48,500 members.
The United Church of Christ is just that—a united church. That means our 5,287 churches across the country are as diverse as the country as a whole, and we encompass a broad spectrum of beliefs, values and worldviews under the umbrella of a united church. To manage our many autonomous congregations, the UCC is divided into 38 conferences.
2019 Our Church's Wider Mission deadline is January 15!
Our Church's Wider Mission 2019 donations from churches MUST be received in the Conference office or postmarked no later than January 15, 2020, to be included in 2019 figures.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
We cannot say “THANK YOU” often enough or more boldly!
Join us for the Conference-wide Epiphany book study!
White Fragility by Robin Diangelo
Every Thursday at 3 p.m.
January 9 – February 20, 2020
Robin Diangelo’s book can be purchased at .
As Epiphany is the season of awareness of God’s presence within and among us, Rev. Ginny invites us all to a book study that will most definitely raise our awareness of how white supremacy continues to live within us with the prayer that our honest reflection and conversation will break us open to God’s presence of dismantling racism within the Missouri Mid-South Conference.
We will meet each Thursday at 3 pm via zoom. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Conference office.
Now Open:
