Prairie Avenue Christian Church
Decatur, Illinois
 2026 Easter Worship - Sunday, April 5, 9:30 AMBefore the sun was up, the women went to the tomb expecting death… and instead found an empty place, a rolled‑away stone, and a message that changed the world: “He has been raised; He is not here.” Today we celebrate the God who still rolls stones away—stones of fear, despair, shame, and impossibility. The resurrection isn’t just an event; it’s the beginning of new creation breaking into our lives right now. |  Welcome to Prairie Avenue Christian ChurchJoin us for worship in person or online on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. |  Paul & The Early Church: Life, Lessons, & LegacyOur current worship series explores the seven authentic letters of Paul: 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, Philemon, Philippians, 2 Corinthians, and Romans. In January, we continue our study of Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth. |  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
