Welcome to the Heartland North District website! We are a diverse district with very small rural churches and large suburban churches and everything in between! Ranging from Weston to Smith Chapel in Napton, from Breckenridge to Mt. Tabor, we are spread far and wide! We do have in common this one life-changing focus: the transformative power of God through Jesus Christ
Our churches strive to live out the Missouri Conference mission to “lead congregations to lead people to actively follow Jesus Christ.” In this district we particularly value creativity, compassion and courage in the ways in which we live out that mission.
Personally, I am deeply committed to finding new ways to reach those who do not yet know the power of Christ in their lives. I also am committed to those many around us in every setting who are “looking for love in all the wrong places.” I feel led to work with younger adults in ministry, in our churches, and most particularly, those outside our walls who are yearning for a place and a people who will love them into their better selves and a place where they can make a difference.
It is an exciting time to be a part of the Heartland North District of the Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church! I am so very blessed to be the district superintendent of such creative, courageous and compassionate people, pastors and churches!
