Prairie Creek Fellowship just celebrated 150 years of ministry in Streator, IL. The church has a lot of potential. At present, the pulpit is being filled by a pastoral friend of the church, but the long-term desire of the congregation is to have a full-time pastor who can revitalize this church, we do not want to see this church close it's doors. The property has been cared for even though the congregation has become small.

At present our church family averages about 12 people at worship service. The congregation's membership ranges in age between the 40 - 90 age range, with 1 youth. Many years ago, it averaged around 200. Most of the people present in the church remember those days and would like to bring the church back to life to becoming a healthy, vibrant church able to provide ministry to the community.

Recently we began a Hispanic ministry with the hope to able to be plant a church in the future. (Currently 10 Families with children attend midweek or Sunday services)
