Christ being lived and shared by Christians following the Cursillo Method​, turning the 4th Day into a lifetime process of Spiritual growth

 

Who we are

The Heartland Episcopal Cursillo ministry involves both the Dioceses of West Missouri and Kansas. We actively empower and equip Christian laity with the knowledge, support, and encouragement to live out their baptismal covenant to serve Christ. Our objectives are to help Christians understand and develop their individual callings to be Christian lay leaders. This begins with a 3-Day Weekend consisting of short talks, discussions, meditations, worship, and fellowship. The 3-Day Weekend is the springboard into the 4th Day community. Individual parishes see the Cursillistas living out their 4th Day in ways of enthusiastic leadership and action. Cursillistas also encourage others in living out their baptismal promise.

Calling a Fellow Cursillista!

De Colores, friends!
Are you a passionate 4th Day Cursillista with a heart for connecting others to the movement that has meant so much to your own spiritual journey?
Heartland Cursillo is looking for a Recruiter—someone to help identify and encourage:
  • New Secretariat members to help guide our movement,
  • Sponsors who can accompany candidates on their journey,
  • And most importantly, candidates ready to say “yes” to a Cursillo weekend.

This is a ministry of invitation—grounded in friendship, rooted in faith, and led by love. We need someone who knows how powerful the Cursillo experience is and can help others see themselves as part of that story.

If you’re someone who feels called to reach out, invite, and help grow our community in grace and joy, we’d love to talk to you!

Message us here or email cursillo@diowestmo.org to learn more.

Together, let’s keep lighting the way for the next generation of pilgrims.

Make a friend. Be a friend. Bring a friend to Christ.

De Colores!
