ONE CHURCH

BETTER TOGETHER

THIS IS GOD'S CHURCH. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

“I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY.”

- John 10:10B NRSV

We believe Jesus welcomes all people and invites all of us into lives of discipleship, community, and service. Come join us as we explore the abundant life Jesus promises to all of God’s children!

JOIN GOD'S PEOPLE

Walk With Us

The Nebraska Synod is 80,000 disciples of God’s people who gather in over 223 different congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America across the territory of Nebraska. Together, we live and worship, are strengthened with the Word and sacraments, proclaim the Good News of Jesus through all that we do and say, serve our neighbors near and far in Jesus’ name, and work for justice and peace. Join with us as part of God’s work in the world.
