Lincoln Christian University

[EduCativ]

Located in Lincoln, Illinois, LCU was founded in 1944 as a Bible institute -- and we haven't left that identity behind.
We have embraced our past while also engaging our future. Today, LCU strives to meet students' needs by designing a Christ-centered curriculum that prepares them for their chosen profession and gives them the knowledge and desire to live out their faith in this fallen world.
Lincoln Christian University is a Christian higher education community whose mission is to nurture and equip Christians with a Biblical worldview to serve and lead in the Church and the world.
Year after year, we commit to teaching our students to live out their faith consistently and considerately as leaders in the Church and the world. We do this for pastors, missionaries, office administrators, lawyers, moms, dads, and, most importantly, for Christ. With every class we teach and every student we graduate, we strive to make a better world.
Our students are remarkable. Not only are we glad they are here—we are grateful to know them. That is why we have created a unique curriculum to challenge and prepare students as thinkers, professionals, and faithful followers of Christ.
LCU is small—like a family or youth group. Students here get to know the faces of everyone on campus. They have friends in different majors, different dorms, and different life stages. With that kind of interconnectivity, we believe each student will discover what they can do for the body of Christ.
The Great Commission is our significant commitment. Of our nearly 16,000 alumni, many have gone on to serve Christ abroad. All of us in the Lincoln Christian community is acting on the gifts and resources God has given us—so that God can be given the glory forever.
You Crave a Life of Meaning. You hope to live each day doing something that matters. Being a person of purpose and finding God's call requires a different view of the world.
Let LCU help you prioritize. At Lincoln Christian University, we know the meaning you seek requires far more than a degree. That is why we go beyond preparing students for a career. We will give you the skills to interpret Scripture on your own and foster in you a love for God's Word that can change your life as well as the lives of those around you. And we will show you a new way to see the world, too—one that takes every thought, be it theological, philosophical, political, or economic, captive for Christ. We are a different kind of college, but that is a good thing. We will make a better you so that you can make a better world.
