About admin

Saint Paul Church is a vibrant and progressive congregation in the heart of downtown Lincoln. We decided ten years ago to remain downtown and be intentional about our ministry here -- near the University, near state and city government, in the midst of the financial and entertainment center of the city, and on the streets with the homeless and needy. So we built a new building, then completely remodeled our 100-year-old sanctuary. Now children and youth, singles and families, seniors, recovering addicts, music lovers and seekers of meaning find hope and life here. Our Mission Saint Paul is an open community where people experience God and follow Jesus in amazing ways. Our Vision ... that everyone who walks in the door will be received with the same grace and hospitality we would offer Christ. ... that they will experience compassion, healing and wholeness as if it came from Christ himself.
