Besides serranos (an excellent choice!) you might want to try cayennes.
There are many different varieties, so you should be able to find one (or
more!) that you like. I had excellent luck with Portuguese Red Hots.
I don't know anything about the Missouri climate, but it's warmer than it
is here (New York), so anything I can do, you can probably do better!
Here are some seed sources.

I've gotten seeds from both Davis and Burpee, and done well with both.
