Welcome to our church!
We are a church of open minds.
We are a church of loving hearts.
We are a church of helping hands.
Together we care for our earth,
And work for peace
and justice in our world.
We're a caring community uniting reason with spiritual exploration. We draw on the wisdom of the world's religions and the results of science. We welcome people of all abilities, ages, classes, races, colors, ethnicities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
Is this your first "virtual visit?" I invite you to read our Mission, learn about our church, read past sermons
and find out about our community, or stop by on a Sunday morning. We'd love to meet you in person.
Reverend Fritz Hudson, Minister ~ minister@unitarianlincoln.org

RENOVATION/EXPANSION
On June 2, 2013 our Members voted to approve the proposed Renovation Plan & Funding Package! Contributions to the capital campaign, and pledges toward our mortgage payments continue to be welcome and needed. Please click here to download contribution or pledge forms and return them to the church office.
Our church members voted June 2 to authorize expending $2.1 million to renovate and expand our facilities:
The changes funded in this (Phase 1) project will be:
* a completely renovated classroom wing with fewer-but-bigger classrooms;
* a new roof and internal sprinkler system for the entire existing facility
* a new entrance wing with
- (on the main level) larger administrative/minister offices + new restrooms;
- (on the lower level) a music room, a storage area and a mechanical
room servicing a geothermal heating & cooling system
* expansion of our "Gallery Space" (Sanctuary Lobby/Social Area)
- (at the south end) to create a new fireplace, bookstore/café area, and A street profile
- (at the north end) to add a library room and expanded lobby/entrance area (in anticipation of Phase 2: a projected new Sanctuary & lower level classroom addition)
The $2.1 million funding package approved provides for:
$1,265K from capital campaign contributions already made or pledged
$275K from the church's foundation principal
$150K from the sale of a church-owned house
The balance from other donations + mortgage financing.
