Outreach Ministries

Outreach Ministries at Little Prairie vary from inviting people to join our community to going out into the world to live our mission. 
Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - Matthew 28:19-20.
