Hams Prairie Christian Church

HPCC is a great example of a blended church, made up of people from many denominations who are united in their belief in the sovereignty of God, His inerrant Word, and their obligation and privilege to serve Him. Volunteers power our many established Youth Ministries that include once a week after school Bible Club for K-5^th(100 kids), Jump Start for Middle School (25), and High School Sunday night youth groups (50). During Sunday Services our Children’s Church serves ages 6-12 and Tiny Tots reaches ages 2-6, along with a nursery for 2 and under.

As a farming community, we believe in helping our neighbors, locally and through missions. We do our best to love on and welcome all and are prayerfully seeking the man God has chosen to be our new Associate Pastor. While we are a country church, a typical Sunday brings 180-220 people together for worship.

The proximity to Columbia, Jefferson City and Fulton offers many different opportunities and experiences. Reach out to pastor@hamsprairiechurch.com with any questions.
