About
First United Methodist Church, Lincoln
The church was founded in 1888 by men and women who were devoted to Christ's teachings and dedicated to the education that Nebraska Wesleyan University (NWU)would provide the families of University Place. The fledging church used school facilities for 21 years until it was financially "expedient" to build a church. In February 7, 1903 the basement church was ready for occupancy. The flat, tin roof of the "hole-in-the-ground" church did not prove durable. In 1907, services were held in C. C. White Memorial Hall on the NWU campus while the new church was started. In 1908 construction began.
