About Us

The historic Missouri United Methodist Church building was dedicated in 1929. The exterior of the church is constructed with Indiana Bedford limestone.

Located in the historic building is the sanctuary, which faces Ninth Street and comfortably seats 1,000 people. The great arch at the front of the sanctuary depicts 26 different forms of the cross. The beautiful stained glass windows in the sanctuary outline the Old Testament, New Testament and the major figures of United Methodist history. Also included in the sanctuary is a famed Skinner pipe organ. On the wall at the rear of the sanctuary are plates bearing the names of all the pastors who have served in all four locations of the church since 1837 when the congregation was formed.

The historic building has 33 classrooms and meeting rooms. This is also where the office , resource center, main kitchen and McMurry Chapel, which can seat about 135 people, are located.

In 2005, the Christian Life Center and Connector were constructed to create additional space for ministries and fellowship. This project joined the historic building to our new education building, providing inviting entrances and a connecting place for members and guests. Today, the CLC includes up to 10 classrooms, a gymnasium, stage and commercial kitchen.

One writer referred to Missouri United Methodist Church as the "Cathedral on Ninth Street". Missouri United Methodist Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1980.
