Prairie Avenue Christian Church
Decatur, Illinois
 Fall Worship Series: September 10 - October 1The capacity for love to overcome all obstacles is easier to believe when talking about two people who want to be together, but can be especially challenging when thinking of ourselves and someone we don't want to be with, especially someone who has hurt or betrayed us. Yet our ability to overcome conflict within ourselves and find peace is an incredible opportunity to reflect the unconditional love of Jesus Christ, who loves us despite the ways we have failed. |  Reconciliation Ministry Special Offering: September 24 & October 1The Reconciliation Ministry Special Offering is received each year in congregations on the last Sunday in September and the first Sunday in October (in solidarity with World Communion Sunday). Funds generated by this special emphasis are used throughout the year to provide grants to ministries and congregations actively developing and implementing programs that promote our Church’s Pro-Reconciliation and Anti-Racist identity. |  Welcome to Prairie Avenue Christian ChurchJoin us for worship in person 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
