In short, the work of the Northeast Area is to effectively reach and serve our Area congregations so they can, in turn, effectively reach and serve our communities (those within and beyond our doors). We accomplish this work through our staff, Area Departments, and the resources of the Mid-America Region and the varied ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
We support congregational pastors through coaching, Clergy Cluster gatherings, and retreats. We support our congregations with Search & Call (the process of calling ministers), mission assessment, action plan development, consulting, and the training of laity and leaders. Through our Area's Department on Ministry and the Region's Commission on Ministry (and with resourcing from the Missouri School of Religion), we help to ensure our pastors are grounded and well-equipped. Our outdoor and youth ministres are designed to complement, extend, and resource the ministries of our congregations.
