About Prairie Ridge Church
          We are striving to be the kind of church described in the Bible – right here in Ankeny, Iowa. A church with relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, authentic relationships, joy-filled living, and compassionate care. We’d like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire Ankeny and greater Des Moines community, one life at a time.
