The GPCCA

The Greater Prairie City Community Association (GPCCA) was born as a non-profit 501(c)(3) out of the need to have a non-profit organization receive the generous donation of the iconic Methodist Church at the south end of the City Park. The church is now referred to as the Community Center. The GPPCA also committed to serving the needs of the community beyond just managing the Community Center building.

Recently, after a few years hiatus, the GPCCA is again active with a new crop of volunteers and purpose. We’re calling it GPCCA 2.0. The new websites and new streaming a/v equipment at the Community Center are just a couple improvements already available for the community.

Community Center

Prairie City Community Center

The GPCCA owns and maintains the former Methodist Church as a Community Center. Residents and others are encouraged to make use of the building for meetings and events.

We recently installed about $1,000 of upgrades to the audio/visual (A/V) system which already had a large projector and giant screen. We can stream content from the internet using a phone, laptop, or computer, via bluetooth or wifi. Play a DVD movie or an audio CD , and use the wireless microphonesi to MC your event through the jumbo speakers at the front of the assembly hall.
