Shane & Deena
Pringle
Shane and Deena Pringle are the founders of Thrive Church and have been married for 18 years. They are the parents of three children, Mariah, Maleah, and Shane (SJ). Family is central to their lives and shapes the way they lead and care for people.
Their heart is to help people heal, grow, and thrive in Christ. After years of walking alongside individuals and families through both joyful and difficult seasons, they carry a passion to build a church where people do not just attend services but truly encounter God and experience real life change.
Their leadership focuses on creating a healthy, life-giving church where people are supported, encouraged, and equipped to live out their faith in everyday life. As Thrive prepares to launch in Canton, their priority is building a strong, prayerful foundation that serves the community with care, integrity, and authenticity and helps people move from surviving to thriving.
Why We Exist
We're launching Thrive Church because we believe God calls people to more than just getting by. We exist to help people heal, grow, and thrive in Christ. Through Jesus and authentic relationships, we invite people into a life-giving community where they are valued, supported, and equipped to live out their faith.
Through Jesus and authentic relationships, we help people experience healing, grow in their relationship with Christ, and thrive in the life He offers. Our heart is to create a community where people are welcomed, encouraged, and equipped to take meaningful next steps in their faith.
We are not just inviting people to attend a church. We are inviting them to help build a life-giving community from the very beginning. We believe God is calling us to walk alongside people as they heal, grow, and thrive in Christ, and we are excited to begin that work here in Canton.
If you are looking for a place to belong, grow, and be part of something meaningful from the beginning, we would love for you to join us in building a church where lives are changed, people are healed, and a community thrives in Christ.
