Children and Youth Ministries

Rachel Casper, (left) is Director of Children’s Ministries, and Jody Veatch (right) is the Young Family Engagement Specialist. Terri Myers (lower right) is Director of Youth Ministries. These staff members work with the Children’s Ministry Team and the Youth Council to focus on children and youth and their faith journey. 

During the coronavirus outbreak, we are looking at making connections through Facebook, email and snail mail and providing Sunday School lessons and suggestions for family events through those connections.  The groups described below are NOT MEETING in person at this time, but they are evidence of the church's deep love and concern for children and families.

We invite you and your children to participate in Eden Prairie's ministry with children. Contact information is below or use the "Contact Us" page.

Sunday mornings, September through May, children ages three through grade 7 are in Sunday School; an infant and toddler nursery is available. On Communion Sundays, children are dismissed after Holy Communion.

Wednesday nights, September through May, structured programming is offered for children in grades 3 through 12. Through fun, games, service, relationships, and food, we offer opportunities to grow in faith.  Rooted meets weekly for grades 3-4,  Holy Club is for grades 5-6. Youth divided in two groups: Grades 7-8 and Higher Ground for grades 9-12. 

For more information activities for children through 6th grade., email Rachel, RachelC@prairiechurch.org. For youth ministry (Grades 7-12), 
you may email Terri at terrim@prairiechurch.org. To learn more about family ministries, email Jody at jodyv@prairiechurch.org
