First Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

First Evangelical Lutheran Church in North Platte gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 305 West 5th Street. The congregation, organized in 1880, is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and works with the Nebraska Synod. Holy Communion is offered every week, either at the front of the sanctuary or at the back for those who would rather receive in the pew. Bulletins are on a table at the entrance to the worship space, the service is projected on screens at the front, and hymnbooks are available for those who like to sing from sheet music. Services are also livestreamed on Facebook, with the stream starting around 10:20 a.m. Central.

Sunday morning Faith Formation for children from age 3 through sixth grade begins at 9:15 in the west education building, and coffee and donuts are available in the basement starting at 9:45. Other ministries include confirmation, Vacation Bible School, WELCA, and a Caring Christians Committee that organizes monthly service projects, such as a Foster Care Closet event. A Trunk or Treat is held in the parking lot in the fall. Visitors can wear whatever is comfortable. Parking is on the street and in a large lot to the south, with handicap spots on the east side along Sycamore. The sanctuary has 15 stairs, and an elevator is at the southeast corner of the building on Sycamore Street. Confirm details on the website.
