Visit Us: https://prairie.edu The focus of our Community Chapel is Hearing the Word and worshipping God in community. Learn more about purpose and mission of our Chapel gatherings: https://www.prairie.edu/spiritual-growth/ From the beginning of the school in 1922, our motto and heartbeat has been “To know Christ and make Him known.” Closely related to this motto is a more recently crafted statement that we have entitled “Our Sole Purpose”, which is “To be, and invite others to be, lovers of God…who make disciples, who influence culture, and who build His kingdom”. Chapel is an intentionally carved out sacred space within our busy lives for worship, developing relationship with God and prioritizing seeking His kingdom as a whole community. Mission of Chapel/Campus Life Events The mission of the chapel/campus life events is to glorify God through corporate worship. The mission of chapel contributes directly to the mission of Prairie in the following specific ways: Worship – It is a sacred space to declare God’s worth as a whole community. It is a tangible reflection of the reality that Christ is the life-transforming centre of and reason for our learning community. It is our declaration and practice to seek God and His kingdom first. It is our surrendered acknowledging of our desire for and dependence on Him. Community – It is dedication to authentic community of loving one another with sincerity, where our diversity is expressed in a wonderful unity through our common relationship with the Triune God. Instruction – The Bible is the God-breathed Truth through which He nourishes our community. We are privileged to listen together, willingly obey it and willingly submit our lives, community and program to its authority. Discipleship – Worship is a context of rich transformation into His likeness. As a faith community we engage God and one another within chapel to be discipled as followers of Jesus. Spiritual Discipline – It is a soul exercise to grow in faith and develop love, fear, and desire for God. The practice provides room for God to work in our lives even on the days we don’t “feel” like participating. Integrity – Chapel participation is one aspect of the commitment we have made in the Community Covenant by choosing to become part of the Prairie community. Actual participation is thus learning to walk in integrity of that commitment. Leadership Development – All of these principles – worship, community, instruction, discipleship, spiritual discipline and integrity – are important components of shaping our lives as preparation to influence others in life and ministry.
