What to Expect
We know first impressions are important, so we want to introduce ourselves. We are Christ Lincoln Church, a Bible-based, Christ-centered Lutheran church founded in 1949 in Lincoln, NE. Today, we meet as one church in two locations with over 1,000 people attending each weekend. We are an LCMS church that seeks to be welcoming to everyone. We believe that God works through everyone. No matter what your story is, we are so glad you are here! We are all about people because our Savior died for people, including you and me.

Visit Before You Visit
Worshiping online gives everyone an ability to gather together in worship, connect with others, and find resources that will encourage and enrich them. Additionally, it gives you a chance to see what our services are like before you step foot at either campus. We cannot wait to get to know you in-person, but until then, you can learn about the law and gospel of our Savior, and get to know our church.
Children and Students
At Christ Lincoln, we are Christ-centered, kid-focused, and family-oriented. Our Family Ministries exists to draw children to the wonder of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to partner with parents to lead children in a life of lasting faith.
