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.

a memorable evening. What a blessing for First Pres to be in partnership with the
