Lincoln Church of the Nazarene adopts a new name

[September 15, 2017]  LINCOLN -

Lincoln Church of the Nazarene would like to share some good news. After more than 90 years of ministry to the residents of the Lincoln area and 37 years in its current west side location at 2501 Woodlawn Road the church has announced an official change of name to “Hope Chapel Church of the Nazarene.”

“We feel our new name more clearly communicates our reason for being here: to show hurting and confused people in our community real hope – hope that can change lives today and forever through the grace of God in Jesus Christ,” noted pastor Greg Wooten.

The process began earlier this year with a unanimous congregational vote. The district leadership then reviewed the request and finalized their approval in July. Now that the process is complete a new sign is scheduled to be installed at church on Monday, September 18 weather permitting.

A weekend celebration is planned for Sept. 30-Oct. 1 with a wiener roast and sign lighting ceremony on Saturday evening and a re-dedication service on Sunday morning with refreshments to follow. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
