ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Welcome to Prairie Winds Church. We are a diverse community of believers stemming from numerous denominations and faith backgrounds, conservatives and progressives, old and young, many different nationalities, and all walks of life.
​
We believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the divine Son of God the Father and continues to work in our broken world today through the Holy Spirit. Eternal life is found only through a relationship through Jesus and is offered to all people. 
​
Our focus is on creating passionate, innovative worship experiences, intentional discipleship moments, and relational missions, both here at home and abroad. We invite you to walk this journey of life together with us as we seek to encounter the Father,  learn to live, love and look like Jesus so Dickinson looks more like Heaven
​
We offer two different worship experiences on Sunday mornings.

8:30 AM is a service designed to be a more traditional style worship with hymns and the Lord's Prayer. 10:30AM is a more modern experience with a "living room" feel and passionate worship. 
Worship is our offering and our sacrifice. We bring all that we are and all that we are not to the Father. We come earnestly and with expectation not only to worship, but to encounter the Living Spirit of the Father!

​
ALL are welcome. come as YOU are.

 
Our Vision
To live, love and look like Jesus.
 
Our Mission
To extend the Kingdom of God, making earth like Heaven, by experiencing His presence and goodness, through community with believers, and equipping others.
 
Our Principles
We hold the Bible, the Holy Word of God, to be supreme in all matters governing this church, in keeping with the Spirit of Christ:
We hold as scriptural and fundamental, that form of corporate government, which is a voluntary cooperative fellowship, we affirm "The Church" to be sovereign under the Lord Jesus Christ;
We hold it basic that every born-again follower of Jesus Christ should endeavor to keep unity of the Spirit and the Bond of Peace... "Until we all come in the unity of faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).
