Our History

Picture
  • Founded as a mission church, the first service of Heritage Presbyterian was held in September 1890, and was originally known as the Young People's Memorial United Presbyterian Church.
  • By 1927 it had been renamed First United Presbyterian Church.
  • With the merging of the United Presbyterian Church of North America and the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A in 1958, the congregation changed the name to Fairhill United Presbyterian Church, reflecting the title of the locations' subdivision in Lincoln.
  • In 1991, Fairhill merged with Second Presbyterian Church, and the name was changed to Heritage Presbyterian Church.

The People
As with any organization, we've seen fluctuations in our membership numbers over the years. We like to say we are a small church in the heart of Lincoln. What that means to us is that no matter the number, people are what makes Heritage the place it is today.
  • We're a team, working together to help each other grow in our faith
  • We share our gifts and talents with each other
  • We like to have fun (who doesn't!)
  • We consider each other to be family

The Building
The first location of the church was in a temporary building at 16th & R streets. Due to growth in nearby businesses and the University of Nebraska campus, and an increase in church membership, plans were made to seek a new location for the church. In 1928, a new church was dedicated at its current location, at the corner of 35th & F streets.

A sanctuary was added to the north side of the church, with the first worship service held on Easter Day, 1957.
