A CHURCH SERVING LINCOLN, NE

SUNDAYS AT 10 AM - ENGLISH & 12:30 PM - SUDANESE (NUER)  |  840 S 17TH ST., LINCOLN, NE 68508

WELCOME TO

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA

We’re so glad you’re here! We are unashamedly a Christ-centric, incarnational, justice-seeking, liturgical, contemplative, inclusive church, who welcomes all, regardless of any label one may embrace, including labels of race, economic status, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity.

MY KIDS

We WELCOME children in worship! They are a gift from God and where better to be than in the midst of God’s people? We recognize that younger children can be sometimes squirmy and are not always the quietest of worshipers – and that’s OK! 

WHAT TO EXPECT

When you come, you will be warmly welcomed by our greeters, and handed a worship guide, which will tell you about what happens during worship, and about other events going on in the life of the church. 

GET INVOLVED

We are a very loving and flawed group of people. We try to walk in Christ’s footsteps, and sometimes we do well, and other times not so well.

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to our website! If you have made it this far, then you have found something that at the very least piques your curiosity, or resonates with the journey you are on. We are all on a journey of life, seeking meaning, seeking belonging, and I hope, seeking joy, as we explore the intersections between faith and life.  

FAITH – CURIOSITY – DIVERSITY – LOVE

CORE VALUES

OUR APPROACH

TO MINISTRY

We are a very loving and flawed group of people. We try to walk in Christ’s footsteps, and sometimes we do well, and other times not so well. It is actually those times when we don’t do so well that are the most important for us, for when we become aware of how we have failed to love as Christ loves, we have an opportunity to look at ourselves and learn from that, which helps us to not only deepen our own faith, but to enrich our relationships with others. I’ll be honest – if you are perfect, this may not be the right church for you! You may become frustrated with our imperfections. But if you are simply needing a place to accept you as you are, if you are looking for a church home where you are loved in spite of your flaws, if you are looking for people who share your journey, if you are looking for a place to make a difference, and if you want to be a part of something special, then there’s a place for you here.

 

What else will you find? You will find a unique collection of people who come from different places, speak different languages, love differently, think differently, and who have vastly different ideas and opinions, and yet still come together to worship, to work, to care for each other, to learn, and to make this world a better place. If that speaks to you, then there’s a place for you here. Watch a short video to learn more about who we are.

THE FULL INCLUSION OF ALL PEOPLE

No matter what letter you identify with, or no letter,

you are welcome here!

For too long LGBTQIA+ individuals have not found a welcome in churches. Here you will find welcome, without exception. You are free to be yourself as God made you. You are welcome to be married here, to raise your family here, and to grow with us as followers of Christ. Here you are welcome in leadership, and here you will be loved.
