Making Room
For Now and For the Future.
As God continues to work through Christ Lincoln, we're preparing our Sumner Campus for the ministry happening today and the opportunities still ahead. Making Room is about more than expanding a building. It's about creating space for children to learn, families to grow, people to gather, and more lives to be connected to Jesus Christ.
Why We're Making Room
Christ Lincoln has been blessed with generations of faithful ministry, and today, our Sumner Campus faces challenges that come with continued growth. Our school and childcare programs have reached the limits of available classroom space, families and students need more room to gather, and parking continues to be a challenge on Sunday mornings. While we've made the most of our existing facilities, we have an opportunity to create spaces that better support the ministries God has entrusted to us and welcome those who will become part of our community in the years ahead.
Room to Learn
Bring students together in facilities designed to support education, childcare, and future growth.
Room to Grow
Create more space for our schools, family ministries, and relationships across generations.
Room to Gather
Make it easier for our congregation, families, and community to worship, connect, and share life together.
What We're Building
Making Room will expand and improve our Sumner Campus to better serve the people and ministries already here while creating opportunities for the future. The project is designed to bring students together in the main building, provide more intentional spaces for learning and discipleship, and improve how our church family gathers and connects. Every space has a purpose: supporting the mission of connecting people to Christ and together growing in His Word.
Expanded Learning Spaces
Classroom improvements and additional space will help bring students out of the portable building and better support our school and childcare ministries.
Purposeful Ministry Spaces
New gathering spaces will provide opportunities for students, families, and ministry groups to learn, connect, and grow together.
A Campus Ready for the Future
Improved facilities will help Christ Lincoln welcome more people and respond to ministry needs for years to come.
