Prairie Heights Community Church was started in 2000 by Jon and Teri Hauser and a group of “Originators” with the sole purpose of reaching people for Jesus. In April 2001, 207 people attended Prairie Heights’ Grand Opening service at the Doublewood Inn in Fargo.

Prairie Heights has toured around the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Community, hosting services in 20 different locations. No matter where we were, our focus was always on reaching people. As more people were finding hope in Jesus we outgrew our portable space at the Fargodome and knew it was God’s timing to build our first permanent building with a kids area, sunlight lobby, auditorium and coffee bar (we love coffee). In December of 2016 Prairie Heights hosted our first service at the new location for 1,400 attendees. Then in 2020, the leadership baton was passed down and Beth Nelson was named the Lead Pastor.

We have experienced God change lives over and over again, with hundreds committing their life to Christ and together, our church family continues to impact our community. Through it all, one thing has not changed: our focus on connecting people with Christ and a church family.

Prairie Heights is staff led and board advised and protected.
