Let us help them to maturity in Christ and sharpentheir God-given talents, realizing there is a place for every worker inthe Kingdom of the Lord.” These words run parallel with the recentwords of our own President Keith Ray, who said, “As a Christiancommunity of higher education . . . we strive to unlock the gifting,passion, and sense of calling (GPS) for our students and our employeesso they may be empowered to work in alignment with God and Hispurposes.” In this effort we shall:• Strengthen our ability to mentor and serve our students intheir spiritual and academic journeys• Focus on service learning• Develop a holistic approach to advising• Place more than 90% of our students in ministries hereand abroad• Provide the Doctor of Ministry program in our Seminary, whichmeans that LCCS offers the full spectrum of education, from anAssociate of Arts degree to a Doctor of Ministry.CONNECTIVITYCollaborative and covenantal relationships with the church, withspecial friends, and with devoted alumni have always helped shapeLincoln as a distinctive, holistic Christian College and Seminary.We have blended the best of all learning experiences to bring abouta great and growing educational institution.
