Each one is precious in the sight of the Lord and we hope you enjoy hearing about how God has moved in their lives.

Pray for Prairie
At Prairie, we recognize the significance of prayer in both individual lives and in the corporate, worldwide Body of Christ. Just as we are committed to praying for those here within our own community, we also pray regularly for our extended Prairie community—our alumni, supporters and friends. Please submit your prayer requests to alumni@prairie.edu.
A huge thank you to all of you who faithfully pray for Prairie, its ministry, leadership, staff, students, families, facilities, and finances. We trust that you are richly blessed as you approach God’s throne of grace on our behalf. If you would like to view and/or print our Prairie Prayer Points bulletin, select the month below.

Search the Scriptures
Do you remember your school days with Search Question homework?
At the request of alumni, in January 2019, we launched a weekly Search Question email. We hope those who subscribe will use this resource as a Bible study guide and that it will be an encouragement in your memories of Prairie.
If you would like to receive these weekly emails, please sign up by registering through the button.
It will be sent out by email only. You will receive weekly emails starting the week you sign up.
Online Merchandise Store
We now have an online store with Prairie College apparel, drinkware, hats, and stickers. You may find a gift for a family member, friend, or your student (if they’re here currently) on there.
The online store exists so alumni, friends, parents, and students can access it wherever they may be. As well, the store supports the Prairie community in educating students for God’s kingdom.
Paying it Forward
As a former student, you have been the recipient of faithful gifts from others. As the Lord provides and prompts, would you help keep this legacy going so that others will be able to benefit by your gifts as well? Alumni can contribute to Prairie in various ways, by volunteering their time, talent or resources. We would love to discuss any means you would like to use to assist present and future Prairie students. For more information on giving opportunities, visit the Donation page.
