SPIRITUAL LIFE

[JULY 14, 2000]  Bill Dolan, the new pastor at Lincoln Hill Free Methodist Church in Lincoln, does not have good eyesight, but he and his congregation have keen insight into where their church should be going and growing.

Those pillars include God-centered worship, developing the spiritual disciplines, a comprehensive program of Christian education, developing strong families and evangelistic outreach into the community.
