Where We Call Home

The Impact Learning Center is currently held at Central Alliance Church in Lincoln. This has been the home of Bible Club for ten years. Bible Club is a ministry of City Impact that serves and ministers to over 120 kids ranging from preschool to high school.

Central Alliance Church is a central location to many of the schools, students and families that City Impact targets. Equipped with many classrooms, a kitchen and a gym, Central Alliance Church is a great fit for the Impact Learning Center. So far, two rooms are being used for the Reading with Meaning or Read Room; one classroom for Rotations, where Dramashop and Artshop is held; a behavior room, titled the Reroute room; the sanctuary for the tutoring room (a.k.a the R.E.A.L room); and the gym for the Rec room. Another room is also set aside as the Relax room, where middle school students can “chill” before the elementary students get there since, their school dismissal is later than the middle schools.

The ILC staff and directional team have created these names to distinguish each room that creates a fun and comfortable setting for the students. For example, instead of “going to the gym,” students “will ball it up in the Rec room.” Although these terms may seem foreign to outsiders, this common language helps create a bond with every member of ILC. Keep posted for explanations on the room names and what goes on in them!

Along with adjusting to the new rooms and names, students had to learn how they can and should respect the building and the things in it, for it is not our own. That includes cleaning up after snack, picking up any messes made and putting back things where they found them.

It is a blessing to have the staff and members of Central Alliance Church to allow us to use their building daily. Especially thanks to pastor, Paul Howard, for working with City Impact and cooperating with us so that this building can be used as a tool to impact so many students.
