 Happy 100th Anniversary Prairie Avenue!Check in between September 2024 - 2025 as we mark our 100th anniversary! |  2025 Lenten Worship Series: Parables-Putting Jesus's Stories in Their PlaceWhen Jesus taught in parables, he was doing more than telling simple morality tales. His stories were grounded in the world in which he lived and his vision of the Kingdom of God. We will examine six parables that give us a window into Jesus’s message and movement, and, once they are heard in their own context, ask what they might mean for us today. Parables include: the New Wine and Wineskins, the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Wedding Party, the Workers in the Vineyard, and the Wicked Tenants. |  2025 Easter WorshipJoin us for worship on the First (of Seven!) Sundays of Easter. |  Welcome to Prairie Avenue Christian ChurchJoin us for worship in person or online on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. |  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. Please feel free to read more about our church on this site, or come in for a visit. We would love to greet you and share with you our love for Jesus Christ and for you, our neighbor.
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
