Welcome to Messiah
Welcome!
I appreciate your taking time to learn more about our Messiah family, and believe you’ll find that we’re passionate about God’s Word, worship, fellowship, and serving others.
I consider it a great honor to serve as senior pastor alongside a gifted and passionate ministry team. God is doing incredible things through our many ministries – on campus, in our community, and around the world.
Get to know us, join us for worship, and become part of our Messiah family! Get involved where God can bless you, and where He can work through you to bless others.

Who we are
Our Mission at Messiah is to Love God, Love Others, & Share Christ.
This really is the mission of all of God’s people on earth. These actions drive all that we do at Messiah.
In 1930, Calvary Lutheran Church committed to sharing God’s Word, sacraments, and Christian education in Lincoln. In the 1970s, they expanded by building an elementary school at our current site, known as “Calvary East.” By 1988, this site became Messiah Lutheran Church and School, fulfilling Calvary’s original mission.
Over the years, Messiah has grown, adding a worship sanctuary and expanded educational spaces in 1996. In 2020, a major addition brought new classrooms, a music room, library, café, and more to support our church, school, and preschool ministries.
We remain dedicated to our mission: sharing Christ’s love and teachings with Lincoln and beyond. To God be the glory!
LOVE GOD
We encourage people to worship weekly, read their Bible daily, and put God first in their lives.
LOVE OTHERS
We actively work in our community to help meet people’s physical needs, in order to earn the right to meet their spiritual needs.
SHARE CHRIST
We are all missionaries, so we invite everyone that is a part of the Messiah family to openly share their love for Christ in their day-to-day lives.
The Discipleship Pathway
At Messiah, we are committed to living out Jesus’ Great Commission by growing as disciples and making disciples. Our Discipleship Pathway is an intentional journey that helps you connect, grow, serve, and share the love of Jesus in every area of life.
