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 Saturdays at 5:30pm and Sunday mornings at 8:30, 9:45 or 11:00am. Typically worship is an hour in length.

From September through May, we offer a midweek worship experience at 6:00pm on Wednesday and typically around 30 minutes. 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 they 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 typically 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. There are Story Bags available for children to use during services. These bags contain a storybook, crayons, a children’s worship bulletin and a quiet snack. But 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.

We also have a staffed Nursery available during worship at 9:45 and 11am on Sundays.

From September through May, we offer children’s faith formation classes during the 9:45am and 11am worship services. There are also learning opportunities on Wednesday nights. Learn more about our children’s faith formation opportunities.

High School students meet together at 11am on Sundays and 6:30pm on Wednesdays. Learn more about our youth ministry opportunities.

How do I learn more and get connected?

All are welcome to get involved in the opportunities to live out faith, regardless of membership at Sheridan. On Sundays, you are invited to stop by our Welcome Center just outside of the Worship Center. A volunteer is excited to answer your questions. The Welcome Center is where you can find a current list of faith formation and event opportunities and other immediate ways you can get involved.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page, Instagram or Twitter, and join the community online.
