First Presbyterian Church has an active and expanding outreach ministry.

Our prominent location in central Lincoln presents daily opportunities to extend a

helping hand to neighbors from the surrounding community. We regularly make referrals

to assistance agencies, including the Lincoln Benevolence Coalition at 2101 N Street.

We conduct clothing drives several times a year to help benefit the People's City Mission

and the students taking classes here through Lincoln Literacy and SCC's ESL Classes.

Our members regularly serve on the first Tuesday of the month at The Gathering Place

soup kitchen from 4:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

We are in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools, a Head Start Early Childhood program
operates in our building, ensuring that preschoolers from disadvantaged backgrounds
will start Kindergarten on a more equal footing with their more fortunate peers.

We also partner with the Food Bank of Lincoln by supporting the BackPack Program,

which benefits McPhee Elementary School.
