the new building

It is CLEAR that the Lord is moving! Throughout this process we have seen so many answers to prayer! The first of which is the need for more space! This new building would have room for SALT to gather, for CLKids to expand, for Light Co to grow, and for a bigger Sunday gathering room! Not to even mention the location! The prayer has always been to be closer to campus, staying in central LNK, and we see that answered on 18th and O St [just a couple blocks from campus]!

OUR STORY

2016 - Citylight Lincoln Planted

For our very first gathering, we put out every chair we had! In faith, we believed God was bringing His people. That same gathering became standing room only!

 2017/18/20 - We Plant Three Churches

We didn't have the seating capacity our church had grown to need, but we did have sending capacity! Throughout these years we planted South, North & FoCo!

2023 - CLKids Adds Rooms

Within the past couple years, our kids ministry had tripled! The space we had no longer sufficed, so we built up walls to create multiple rooms out of the originals!

2023 - SALT Moves to the Rococo

Over the past couple years, our college ministry had outgrown the sanctuary! At the first night in the Rococo, over 1100 students were in attendance!

2023 - Four Gatherings

As our church family grew, our space would no longer fit the congregation! In order to make room, we added a fourth gathering to accomodate need!

2023 - New Building Opportunity

The Lord has been throughout this whole opportunity in ways we cannot celebrate enough! The new space will not only be bigger, but it will also have a parking garage!

The Finances

A huge component to a new building is the funds to purchase it! The Lord has been moving
in such miraculous ways throughout every step along the way!

The Value

8 Million Dollars
The location and size add up to make this space beyond valuable! This building triples the square footage of our current space, it's a mere 10 blocks away, and comes with three levels of a parking garage! Praise God!

The Listing Price

5 Million Dollars
The building had been on the market for a while now, so the listing price had been lowered. This prompted us to tour the building again! God was opening doors and we were so excited to enter!

The Purchase Agreement

2 Million Dollars
Soon, we put in an offer that was lower still. Knowing it was a God-sized task, we took a leap & they accepted! This began the process of collaborating with people gifted in the worlds of finances, construction and design!

The Donations

1.4 Million Dollars
Already, so many generous givers have brought us to only $600,000 left, in order to purchase! This beautiful display of surrender and generosity has lit a fire, and we cannot wait to hear the stories that will come!
I want to give!

the need & your part in it

But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding. O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.
1 Chronicles 29:14-16
