God created us to be on "mission," to accomplish His purpose. The mission of the Church Unleashed is to equip and empower the body of LBC, to utilize their gifts to serve the people of Lincoln and the world. By illustrating God's love to others, they will be introduced to Jesus and His transforming power.
The Church Unleashed is not a program of the church, but a movement of the Spirit within the body of Christ here at LBC. We have partnered with organizations in our community that have a variety of needs, from mentoring urban youth, helping the poor, working with pregnant teenage mothers, orphans and more.
We have identified these the following areas of need within the Church Unleashed. Click on the link below for more information or contact Tifany Albrecht at .
• Compassion Ministries
• Children, Youth and Families
• Community Service
• Cross Cultural
• Justice and Public Policy
• Friends and Neighbors (Each One Reach One)![]()

+ Clinic with a Heart: More than 75 people from our church are serving at the Lincoln Berean free medical clinic. The church has partnered with Clinic with a Heart to serve the uninsured and underinsured through a ministry of healthcare. “Many of the people who come to the clinic would not see a doctor otherwise because of the cost,” said one volunteer. “And some of these are people with chronic health conditions who need consistent care.”
We have the capacity to see many more patients at each clinic than we are currently seeing. Please help us spread the word! The clinic meets the 2nd Thursday of the month from 5:30pm-7:00pmat the F Street Recreation Center (13th & F Street). We do have Spanish translators on site.
+ Make a difference in the life of a lonely 35 year old man who is mildly, mentally handicapped. He, too, is here on purpose for a purpose, but he needs someone who cares to help him feel that. There are no scheduled expectations; time spent with him would be determined by your schedule.
