NEArea of the Christian Church (DOC)
Welcome to the website for the Northeast Area of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America. We are here to effectively reach and serve our congregations (ninety-two in northeastern Missouri) so they can effectively reach and serve our communities (those within and beyond our church doors).
Use the links above and below to find out more about the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the NE Area, and our congregations. You can download Camp forms or an application for Ministerial Licensing and renewal. Our calendar is updated regularly, as are other links: so check back regularly as we continue to live into being a resource for, and link to, our congregations.
graciously,
