Pastor Colleen Babcock
I recently stepped away from a 28-year career in Public Education, my last position at Woodside Middle School in the Saydel School District. Previous to that I taught in Melcher-Dallas and for 9 years in Missouri. I felt the call to be in service, but to God as well. He brought me to Prairie City, and also to Pleasantville United Methodist Church. I want to help people grow in their faith and in themselves, and learn to use all of the gifts they have been granted.
​
My husband Tim is an Elementary Guidance Counselor in Indianola at Whittier Elementary. We have two sons--Ryan, who lives in Melcher-Dallas and will be getting married in June, and Brady who attends Iowa Central College.
​
I enjoy crafting, reading, writing, and music. My skill sets include listening, helping, service, and empathetic assistance. I am blessed to be a part of the Prairie City Community, and feel honored to be at your service.
