There are forty-five judicial circuits under Missouri.
Circuit courts do hear most of the criminal cases in Missouri, but circuit courts also hear civil, family law, and a variety of other cases. Some minor criminal offenses may be heard by municipal courts, which have jurisdiction over ordinance violations that occur within a particular town or city's limits.

Supreme court, circuit court, and associate circuit
The trial court of general jurisdiction in Missouri is the circuit court. This means that circuit courts can hear cases on civil and criminal matters that arise in the State of Missouri regardless of what level of crime or how much money is in dispute. Missouri Circuit Courts generally hear cases that are beyond the jurisdiction of municipal courts, which usually hear cases regarding municipal ordinances. Generally, there is a circuit court location in each county. For more information on the Missouri court system, or on a specific circuit court, see the Missouri Court Directory related link.

It really depends what kind of courts you are talking about and where the courts are. If the courts are federal, then a district court is a trial court and a circuit court is an appeals court, which may review a trial decision from a district court. For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.
The US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts consist of thirteen courts, one for each circuit.
