You Are Welcome Here.
We Exist to Be a Blessing.
Colonial Church was founded to be a “mission post on Mission Road.” We envision ourselves not as settlers, but as a growing colony of love and grace—cultivating compassion, community, and justice in the heart of Prairie Village.
Inclusive. Accepting. Welcoming.
At Colonial Church in Prairie Village, we believe that everyone deserves a spiritual home where they can belong and be celebrated for who they are. As a proud member of the United Church of Christ, we are an Open and Affirming congregation, committed to fully embracing people of all orientations, identities, and expressions. Here, you’ll find a warm, inclusive community that honors each person’s journey, supports one another in faith, and strives to make a positive impact in the world. Whether you’re seeking connection, purpose, or a place to grow, you have a place with us. Welcome home!
“We covenant to walk together in Christian Love... to worship God in spirit and in truth...and to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
A Colony of Grace in Prairie Village
