The Prairie Chapter of the ASA is a group of Christians who are practicing scientists and those interested in the sciences in the quad-state area of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. We aspire to encourage, challenge, edify, and support each other in all matters pertaining to science and Christian faith.  Our goal is to bring ASA members together via meetings, conferences, and similar activities, as we jointly work out what it means for each of us to be servants of the Creator God in our scientific work and in our communities.  We also purpose to serve as a resource to regional colleges, schools, and churches as speakers, consultants, advisors, and fellow workers in the kingdom of God.
