Lincoln Lutheran is committed to engaging the community through exciting and impactful events. Donor participation helps fund critical projects that support students and the future of the school. Lincoln Lutheran depends on volunteers, gifts, and participation to lead us toward significant renewal and support of all students in the LL community.

The 2024 Lincoln Lutheran Blue and Gold's theme was “Through the Years”, and was held at Embassy Suites March 15. This generationally themed event took attendees through Lincoln Lutheran’s past, present, and future as they enjoyed food, fellowship, and fundraising. Scott Ernstmeyer presented the 2024 Shield of Faith Award to Rev. Charles and Brenda Schmidt and the 2024 Founder's Award to Lyle and Sheila Ziems. These two awards recognize the many ways that both couples have enhanced the ministry of Lincoln Lutheran and Lutheran Education.

The 2025 Gala is coming soon and we're excited to host the 30th annual Blue and Gold. Invitations will hit mailboxes in Janurary and a link to buy tickets or sponsorships will be available then.

For now, here's a preview of the theme!

Warrior Strong, a give to Lincoln Lutheran event, is an opportunity to support Lincoln Lutheran during the month of May. Gifts received from May 1st through May 30th will be counted towards this initiative. Our goal is to raise $100,000! Gifts received during Warrior Strong will help make Lincoln Lutheran accessible to as many students as possible.
