Lincoln Christian University

Lincoln Christian University (LCU) 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. Founded in 1944, Lincoln has grown to an annual enrollment of about 1,100 with more than 5,900 graduates serving in every state in this country and in more than 160 other countries worldwide.

LCU is affiliated with independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, a non-denominational fellowship of more than one million members in 6,000 congregations in the United States and more than twice that many worldwide.Students at LCU represent more than 30 different denominations, though the majority are members of independent churches. We welcome all who support our mission, core values, and basic beliefs.

Lincoln Christian University was launched on May 4, 1944, with the rallying cry, “The Preachers Are Coming”.  The immediate goal of founding president Earl Hargrove was to prepare preachers and other church leaders to bring new leadership to the many struggling churches in downstate Illinois.  Since then, LCU has grown to offer a wide range of programs to almost 30, from business to worship, with degrees that include two-year Associate of Arts, four-year Bachelor of Arts, several Master of Arts degrees, and a Doctor of Ministry.

The Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI) has announced that Lincoln Christian University (LCU) is Certified as a 2011 Best Christian Workplace! One of only five institutions of higher education certified, LCU qualified for this honor due to high scores in the anonymous BCW employee survey.

Lincoln Christian University’s School of Adult & Graduate Studies now offers three master’s and three bachelor’s degrees that can be earned completely online.
