Small Groups & Bible Studies in Lincoln, NE | Christ Lincoln

Christ calls us into community shaped by Scripture, not just similarity. At Christ Lincoln, we believe faith grows stronger when we walk alongside one another, sharing life's joys, challenges, and questions. Whether you join a Bible Study or Small Group, you'll find opportunities to build meaningful relationships, explore God's Word, and encourage one another in faith. No matter where you are on your faith journey, our hope is that you encounter the living God, grow as a disciple of Jesus, and discover the joy of doing life together in Christ-centered community.

Circles are where we encounter the living God and grow together. At Christ Lincoln, “Circles” are any environment where people gather around God’s Word in community. Circles come in two forms: Bible studies, which are interactive, discussion‑driven study Scripture, and small groups, or groups of four or more who gather routinely to read scripture,
pray, and care for one another. Each setting helps us grow as disciples, but each has a different rhythm, level of
commitment, and relational depth.

Our goal in every Circle is simple: to gather around God’s Word so people can encounter the living God and grow as
disciples of Jesus. We value your age, stage of life, and preferences because they help us understand you. And while those details matter, they are not the primary thing. We desire for people to connect in environments where they can grow spiritually, not simply environments that match every preference. Community shaped by Scripture often means being with people who don’t look, think, or live exactly like us—and that’s part of the beauty of Christ Lincoln and the wider church.

Small Groups gather routinely like a family to become more like Jesus and serve their neighbors. They practice rhythms of Scripture, prayer, encouragement, and mission. There are two types of small groups: Wednesday Evening Groups and In Home Groups. Wednesday Evening Groups gather on campus with others from the church who desire to show up consistently to read scripture, pray, and care for one another. In Home Groups gather with others who desire to meet throughout the week in homes across Lincoln.

Small Groups are about more than finding people with similar interests. They're about building meaningful relationships and growing together in faith. We take time to get to know you, understand your story, and help connect you with a group that fits your season of life. While some groups may have limited availability, we're committed to helping you find the right next step. Through consistent participation, authentic conversations, and a shared commitment to God's Word, our Small Groups offer a welcoming community where you're encouraged, challenged, and supported as you grow in your relationship with Jesus.
