About Lincoln Heights Christian Church

We Exist to Lead the ONE Home into a Life-Changing Relationship with Jesus.

This phrase “Lead the One Home” has captured our hearts. We truly believe the “problem” we’re seeing in our culture is that people are disconnected from God and from others, and the result of this disconnection is people feeling lost and alone. We also believe the “solution” to this problem is found in Jesus’ Parable of the Lost Sheep, and how that parable describes a shepherd who is willing to leave the comfort found in the Ninety-Nine in order to lead the ONE home. Jesus has done this for us, and He is calling us to do the same for the ONE’s in our lives today. Each of us knows a ONE who is feeling disconnected, and as followers of Jesus, it’s our responsibility to “Lead the One Home”.
