About Central USA Mission Center

The Central USA Mission Center is part of Community of Christ, a Christian faith community rooted in the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Based in Independence, Missouri, we serve congregations throughout the Kansas City Metro Area, supporting ministry, worship, and community life across our region.

We are an affirming and welcoming community, committed to creating spaces where all people are valued, loved, and encouraged to grow spiritually. Our mission center includes 27 congregations, each offering unique expressions of worship, fellowship, and service while sharing a common commitment to peace, justice, and Christ’s mission in the world.

We invite you to visit any of our congregations, explore faith at your own pace, and discover a community where questions are welcomed, diversity is celebrated, and hope is nurtured. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you have a place here.
