Prairie Avenue Christian Church
Decatur, Illinois
 Carols & Candlelight Communion Service - Sunday, December 24, 7 pm & 9 pmIt’s time to celebrate Christmas with the ones we love the most...family and friends. It’s time to remember the simple story of Christmas, that in God's perfect timing, God sent Jesus to save us. It’s time for hope, peace, love, and joy. It’s time to celebrate the birth of our savior. We would love to welcome you to this beautiful, meaningful time of worship. Our worship gathering will be comprised of singing Christmas carols and closing with Silent Night. |  Advent Worship Series: December 3 - 24Everyone may have a different definition of home and the places where we belong. Some people may find home not in physical spaces, but instead in belonging to a community that accepts us for the entirety of who God created us to be. Sometimes those dwelling places can take us by surprise; sometimes those dwelling places can also be where we experience the most comfort and joy, where we truly belong in creation. Is there room to belong within us, for others, and for God? |  Welcome to Prairie Avenue Christian ChurchJoin us for worship in person on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. |  2023 Christmas Offering: December 17 & 24The Christmas Offering supports regional ministries. In 31 regions across the United States and Canada, ministers are nurtured and congregations are provided opportunities for work and worship. Often recognized for the ministries of camps and conferences, regions also play a critical role in the preparation and authorization of ministerial ordination. Both are key to church leadership and development. Regions partner with congregations to support the work required to call a new minister. |  News & InformationKeep up with our upcoming events, activities, and more! |

Welcome
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Prairie Avenue Christian Church online. We hope that our website highlights the wide variety of worship, fellowship and service opportunities available.

Our Mission
Our mission statement sounds simple: to be learning, loving, and serving disciples of Christ from our doorsteps to the ends of the world. We believe that a committed disciple of Jesus (disciple is a life-long student) requires these three acts: learning, loving, and serving. Not one of these practices is ever finished in life. We believe we are called to share these each and every day.
Worship
In-Person Worship is held at 9:30 am Sundays.
Upcoming worship series and activities may be found on our Facebook (TM) page
