__TOC__
The Prairieview Mennonite Church, Gridley, [[Illinois (USA)|Illinois]], USA, began as a 2001 merger of the [[Waldo Mennonite Church (Flanagan, Illinois, USA)|Waldo Mennonite Church]] ([[Mennonite Church (MC)]]) and the [[Flanagan Mennonite Church (Flanagan, Illinois, USA)|Flanagan Mennonite Church]] ([[General Conference Mennonite Church (GCM)|General Conference Mennonite Church]]). The merger discussion had begun in 1999 when the congregations experienced leadership transitions.

The new congregation used the former Waldo Mennonite Church facilities. Initially, it became part of both the [[Central District Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Central District Conference]] and the [[Illinois Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Illinois Mennonite Conference]] of [[Mennonite Church USA]]. In June 2007, it chose to withdraw from the Central District Conference and affiliate only with the Illinois Mennonite Conference.

In 2022 the congregation remained part of the Illinois Mennonite Conference.
