Adult Education

At Missouri United Methodist Church, we seek to form and uplift the well-rounded disciple of Jesus Christ. A well-rounded disciple balances a life of faith through five practices: Worship, Prayer, Learning, Service, and Giving. Through these five practices, individuals and groups are able to grow in Christian discipleship that will guide daily living. For more information about the many opportunities in adult discipleship, please download our Winter 2012 Program Booklet.
