Our church, Citylight North Lincoln was planted a few years ago by several people from Lincoln who saw a need for the Gospel in a neighborhood further north of Lincoln. Shortly after our church started meeting we began to feel God giving us a desire and burden to see a new Gospel movement happen in the rural communities surrounding Lincoln. Over the past couple of years, with a calling and an invitation, we have been praying for God’s Church to go into Wahoo and Greenwood, two rural towns north of Lincoln.

In July of 2023, a gentleman from Greenwood knocked on our front door with a plea: “Would you come plant a church in our town?” Little did this gentleman know that we had been praying over the past couple of years asking God to use our church to reach rural communities across Nebraska with the gospel. On August 13th, we held our first prayer gathering with 35 people as we met in an old vacant church building in Greenwood and asked Jesus to bring heaven on earth to Greenwood. The presence of God’s Spirit was so evident as we gathered.

At this month’s prayer gathering, four individuals who have been coming to the prayer gathering and live in the area shared they will start the first City Group in Greenwood! To learn more about what City Groups are visit our City Groups page. 

The first Greenwood City Group started meeting. The plan moving forward is to continue to have the City Group meet weekly in Greenwood. We will also continue to have monthly prayer/worship nights at the Greenwood church. We hope to see God continue to move and connect people in the area who may want to join the Greenwood Church plant. See details for this months prayer gathering below.
