Christmas at the Creek
Make room for hope, joy and connection this season.
The weeks leading to Christmas are filled with opportunities to gather, serve, worship and celebrate together at Prairie Creek.
Whether you’re part of Prairie Creek every week, haven’t been in a while, or are looking for a church to visit this Christmas, we’d love to welcome you.
Celebrate the Season Together
Christmas can be full—full schedules, full calendars and plenty competing for our attention. Advent invites us to slow down and remember the hope at the center of it all.
Throughout November and December, there are opportunities for every generation to prepare for Christmas, care for our community, spend time together and celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Come for one event or make Prairie Creek part of your Christmas season.
