Focus on Knowing God
Life Groups are smaller communities within our church where people connect, grow, and walk through life together. Whether on or off campus, these groups create space to build relationships, study God’s Word, pray, and grow in faith. Some groups focus on Bible study, while others are centered around shared interests or activities—but all are rooted in a desire to know God more deeply and live out our faith in everyday life.
We hope everyone at Lincoln finds a place in a Life Group. For help finding the right fit, contact Justin Linscheid. You can also explore RightNow Media for helpful video-based studies.
“Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God.” – Colossians 3:16

Would you like to read through or listen to The Bible in a year? This Plan will lead you through the Old Testament and then the New Testament in one year. Each book includes daily videos specifically designed to enhance your understanding and engagement with God’s Word.
Please contact Pastor Justin for more information.
Lincoln Church has a men’s group and a woman’s group that meets daily in the YouVersion App. This allows you to participate in the study each day at a time and place that is convenient for you. How can that be you say! Simply open the app each day and read the plan that the facilitator sent out. This has a devotional/teaching part that you read or watch a video and then you read Scriptures that pertain to that days study. Once done walking through that, you will see a section that allows for individual participation. Participants will comment on what God showed them and how God impacted their life with that days reading. (You are NOT obligated to make a comment!) People learn so much from the comments and they build a strong community together to support in prayer as well.
This is the perfect blend of technology and Scripture reading that fits into your daily rhythm. Contact Pastor Justin about how you can join a YouVersion group.
If you don’t already have the Bible App, download it now here.
