Shane and Deena Pringle
Lead Pastors - Thrive Church Canton
Our Leadership
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 believe people were created for more than just getting by.
Thrive Church exists to help people heal, grow, and thrive in Christ. Through Jesus and authentic relationships, we want to create a community where people feel welcomed, valued, supported, and encouraged to take meaningful next steps in their faith.
We’re not just inviting people to attend church. We’re inviting people to help build one. A church where lives are changed, people are healed, and a community thrives in Christ.
