Greetings from the churches of the Prairie South District, where we are living into our calling to transform the world in bold and innovative new ways!  Laity and Clergy alike, we work together to explore what new things our God is doing in our communities and lives and how we can join with God in that life-giving work of transformation and healing.  Please, join us in the grand adventure that is discipleship!  We would love to work alongside you in discovering new depths of God’s love and exciting ways that we can share that love with others.

About the Prairie South District

The Prairie South District is a vital and vibrant part of the Northern Illinois Annual Conference.  Stretching from the mighty Mississippi to the Fox Rivers, the District is filled with small towns, villages, and cities that vary from rural to suburban ministry opportunities.  We are a district where the clergy and laity have a strong bond with each other, working together in connectional ministries.  If you are interested in learning more about our churches or ministries, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to connect you with a local church that can help you in your spiritual journey. 

~Rev. Brian Gilbert, Prairie South District Superintendent
