New to Sheridan

New Here?

We are so glad you have visited today. We would love to meet you sometime soon. We have answers to some common questions about Sheridan Lutheran Church below. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Perhaps it’s been a while since you visited a church, you are new to the area or simply want to check out Sheridan. Welcome, we encourage you to join us.

What can you tell me about Sheridan Lutheran Church?

As a congregation, Sheridan Lutheran Chuch is committed to the embodiment loving deeply, growing spiritually and sharing abundantly. Changing from ways of human brokenness, what the church calls sin, to the way of life in Jesus is the essence of Sheridan Lutheran Church in Lincoln, NE.

We’ve created a hospitable community that welcomes all people and where all people feel welcome. Our outreach opportunities abound. Our educational and faith formational opportunities reach the tiniest of children to those in their wisdom years.

We work hard to live the command to love God and our neighbor as ourselves. Luke 10:25-37

At Sheridan Lutheran Church, God is not a stagnant, irrelevant God – but God is alive in and through this community. God is never done with you. God never gives up on you. Sheridan is a place where we partner with God in living this out.

When is worship and where are you located?

Worship times are Saturday evenings at 5:30pm and Sunday mornings at 8:30, 9:45 or 11:00am. Typically the worship service is one hour in length.

Worship with us in person at 70th & Old Cheney in Lincoln, NE or online with our livestream at 9:45am on Sundays on Facebook, YouTube and our website.

From September through April, we offer a midweek worship experience at 6:00pm on Wednesday which is typically around 30 minutes in length. This service highlights worship leadership by children and youth through music, scripture readers, dramas and more.

Sheridan Lutheran Church is located on the corner of 70th & Old Cheney in Lincoln, NE. Ample parking is available surrounding the building. The Worship Center is located closest to doors # 1 & 2.

What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. We encourage you to come as you are and dress in what feels most comfortable. Some prefer to still put on their “Sunday best,” and that’s fine too! Simply come as you are.

What are your worship services like?

They contain excellent contemporary music, relevant preaching with a Biblical basis, time for prayer, sharing in the Lord’s Supper, celebrating baptism, and challenging ourselves to be the church beyond the weekend.

We utilize a worship series theme that focuses on an aspect of living life as God’s people. People often comment on how helpful these themes are in equipping them to be a follower of Jesus in the ‘real world’ beyond the walls of the church.

What about my kids?

At Sheridan Lutheran Church we love kids! Children are welcome in all of our worship services. If wiggles and restlessness get the best of you and your little one, a Quiet Room is located right outside the Worship Center. There are windows to view the sanctuary and audio to hear the worship service while comforting your child.

Our staffed nursery is available Sundays at 9:45am.

From September through May, we offer children’s faith formation classes during the 9:45am worship services. There are also learning opportunities on Wednesday nights. Learn more about our online children’s faith formation opportunities.

Middle School youth meet together at 11am on Sundays and High School youth gather at 6:30pm on Wednesdays and select Sunday evenings at 7pm. Learn more about our youth ministry opportunities.

How do I learn more and get connected?
