About Us:
Prairie Heights is a large, growing church with an even bigger mission: to connect those apart from God with Christ and a church family. We are passionate about reaching people, seeing people say Yes! to Christ, and taking the next step of going all in with God. That passion comes through in our practical and relevant teaching and focused ministry model.
Our team is dedicated to growing consistently, building trust daily, and celebrating often. We carry the vision of our work, trust Jesus as the leader of our lives, and authentically love the community we live in. If you’re wondering what the work week feels like here, it includes a lot of laughter, stickers, friendly competition, prayer, and teamwork to create excellent services and environments that support the mission.
We are leading our church toward emotionally healthy spiritual growth. This means that we choose to talk about the hard topics, like finances and sex, and we are committed to supporting people as they grow. For our staff, we spend regular time together digging into God’s word, growing together in emotional health, and spending time developing our leadership skills. We offer paid professional counseling, leadership training and development, Costco memberships and Ramsey+ subscriptions in addition to great health and dental benefits.
