History

LCU was founded in 1944 as Lincoln Bible Institute, a four-year Bible college aligned with the Restoration Movement. Its first President was Earl Hargrove; its first Dean was Enos Dowling. The seminary opened in 1951.

In May 2009, officials from then-LCCS announced that the institution would change its name to Lincoln Christian University, effective September 2009.

In 1993 LCU became affiliated with Eastern Christian College, which was renamed Lincoln Christian College-East Coast. ECC then closed in 2005 and was absorbed by Mid-Atlantic Christian University.

LCU's most recent construction projects were new housing (2007) and athletics (2006) facilities and the ongoing renovation of office and classroom buildings.
