Welcome
Prairie Chapel is a welcoming community of faith that seeks to be active followers of Jesus Christ.
Our services are traditional yet informal and our music is from the hymnal with occasional gospel music thrown in. Smiles and laughter are not unusual.

What to Expect in Worship
Sunday. 10:00 AM. Traditional worship service (traditional hymns with an occasional gospel hymn thrown in, informal liturgy and preaching).
Communion is served every first Sunday and on special occasions. Our Communion Table is open to all. It is not Prairie Chapel’s table, or the denomination’s table, it is the Lord’s table, and all are welcome.
What do I wear?
There is no dress code and the entire spectrum of dress is represented each week. You may find a tie or a dress, but jeans are never out of place.
Are my children welcome?
Children are welcome on any Sunday! Children’s packets are available at the rear of the church to keep little hands busy. Children’s Sunday School is in our fellowship hall during the worship service. Children will be dismissed from the worship service after a special Children’s time to go downstairs for their lessons. There they will learn about the scripture of the day through storytelling, video, games and crafts. or the children, including babies and toddlers are welcome to stay in worship. Children’s sounds remind us of the new life we have in Christ.
Will I be asked for money?
No. An offering is taken, but as a guest your presence with us in worship is your gift.
