UPCOMING EVENTS + ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Pilgrimage to Camp Amache

    Granada, CO | June 27-28

    Join Prairie People as we travel to the site of the former internment camp used to incarcerate American citizens of Japanese descent during WWII unjustly. Now a National Historic Site, Camp Amache served as an internment camp for thousands of innocent Americans. Families were displaced from their homes, communities, and livelihoods on the West Coast and sent to southeastern Colorado against their will between 1942 and 1945. Here, despite enduring a harsh life behind barbed wire, the resilience of the human spirit helped internees sustain hope and build community.

Welcome to First United Methodist Church, Prairie Campus! An inclusive, open-minded, Christ centered community. 

Through God's love, we are each created in God’s image. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.

Welcome from Pastor Patty

Welcome from Justin, our Director of Music
