Grace big enough for anyone’s story
Our beliefs aren’t abstract — they're the reason we walk into the hardest places in Lincoln, on purpose, every week.
Grace frees us from our past
We believe that God’s grace and forgiveness can free us from our past — fully, not partially, and not on a probation period.
Love transforms, without exception
We believe that God’s love can reach into our lives and transform us, no matter who we are, what we have done, and where we are from.
Faith means going into hard places
We believe that following Jesus includes going into hard places — like prison — to minister to those who are hurting, marginalized, and feel forgotten.
We affirm the Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
What it means that we’re a CRC church
Northern Lighthouse is a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) — a denomination rooted in the Reformed tradition, holding to historic creeds like the one above, and committed to seeing God’s grace worked out in real, practical ministry.
For us, that theology isn’t just Sunday-morning language. It’s why a church of about 115 people runs a year-round reentry program, a free car-repair ministry, and a leadership pipeline — because we believe grace is meant to be lived out, not just believed in.
