First United Methodist 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. Actual construction was
delayed
for a time until December, 1909 when the church building
was
officially dedicated.
Part of the stunning architecture of First Church are
the
massive Greek columns both outside and inside the
structure,
the amphitheater style balcony and the massive stained
glass
dome with a patriotic design of Abraham Lincoln,
purchased by
the G.A.R. of University Place.
With God’s grace, First United Methodist Church strives
to be a
growing, inclusive community of faith working together,
sharing Jesus’ love, and using our gifts to build and
nurture a
spiritual community.
First Church is located in North Lincoln at 50th & St.
Paul
streets, just West of Nebraska Wesleyan University, in
the
heart of University Place.
There is plenty of free parking available for church
services in
nearby Nebraska Wesleyan University parking lots or
along
residential streets. Handicapped parking is available in
the
small lot just North of the church and hear the East
side door
with accessible ramps and elevator on North 50th street.
