Meet our staff
Our pastor: Rev. Emily Carroll
Pastor Emily is very happy to be here at Court Street UMC! She hold a Bachelor's Degree from Northwest Missouri State University in Psychology and Sociology. Her Master's of Divinity is from Saint Paul's School of Theology and is praying for a 2013 ordination in the Missouri Annual Conference. The thing that Pastor Emily love about ministy the most is that she gets to meet so many of God's interesting and different children. Preaching the Good News is a close second! Also, Pastor Emily is humbled that God calls her to be with people in some of their most joyous and grievous moments. Pastor Emily believes that the church is at its best when the people of God are refusing to sit idly and watch the world go by...God calls us to change lives in the name of Jesus Christ and that means that there is some work to do! Come join us in worship, Pastor Emily would love to meet you!
