All of our campuses will have friendly faces ready to welcome you! We want you to feel at home from the moment you walk in. God loves you no matter what and so will we!

No one likes feeling lost in a new place, so at Prairie Lakes, we've made it easy for you to find your way. Every campus has clear signage pointing you in the right direction, and anyone wearing a name tag is ready and waiting to help you out!

Our cafe areas are perfect places for you to grab coffee, water, or snacks and find community. At Prairie Lakes, we're all about creating spaces where you can find your people and make friends who can help you look for God. And if you're running late, don't worry! There'll be plenty of time after service to connect! 

Volunteers will be at the Children’s Check-In area with a tablet ready to help you get your information entered and your kids checked in. They’ll talk you through what you’ll need to pick up your kids and direct you to the right room(s) too!

Want to save yourself a step? Pre-register your kids so you can simply check in when you get here!

Here are three key ways we keep your kids safe while in our care:

1. Every volunteer in your kid's ministry area has been vetted and background-checked. Additionally, they are a part of a team who works together to make sure each kid's needs are met.
2. Our kids' spaces are locked 15 minutes after each service begins to ensure only the people who need to be there are in the children's area. Each room is also equipped with security cameras.
3. At check-in, your child receives a name tag with a three-digit code. You will receive a parent tag with your child's matching three-digit code, which MUST be shown to check your child out at the end of service. The codes change from week to week, so tags cannot be recycled.

Our children's ministry team is there to make check-in easy for you and secure for your kids. Thank you for helping us keep your kids safe!

If something comes up with your child and you're needed, the three-digit code on your parent tag will flash on the screens in the worship center, anonymously notifying you to come to your child's room.

Sit where you feel comfortable! Whether you prefer to sneak in the back row or you like a front-row seat, at Prairie Lakes, you don’t have to worry about taking someone’s spot. If you have trouble finding an open section, our volunteers by the doors would love to help you find somewhere to sit!

Our services are designed to be 65 minutes long. This time includes moments of music, teaching, video, reflection, and spiritual direction from your Campus Pastor! Every part of the service is clearly explained, so you won’t have to guess what to do or when to sit or stand.

At Prairie Lakes, we love celebrating Christmas with music! We lead modern, high-energy worship songs along with familiar Christmas Carols played in a way you might not have heard before. You'll be invited to sing along, but you can participate however you're comfortable! 

Our teaching pastors preach live messages at our Cedar Falls Campus, and those same messages are video broadcast to our campuses across Iowa and online.

You can check out what our messages feel like by watching here! Each one teaches what the Bible says about topics relevant to your life and gives you practical steps to grow on your journey with God.
