Searching for a Church That Feels Like Home?
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re walking through it alone. Many people long for a place where they are accepted, loved, and guided toward a deeper relationship with God. But finding a church that teaches biblical truth, fosters genuine relationships, and truly cares about spiritual growth can be difficult. If you’re feeling spiritually lost or disconnected, we understand.
A Church That Welcomes You With Open Arms
At Everlasting Love Church, we believe that God’s love is everlasting [Jeremiah 31:3]—and that love is for you. We are a church that invites you to come as you are, find a community that supports you, and grow in your faith through biblical teaching, Spirit-filled worship, and Christ-centered relationships.
For over 30 years, we have served Columbus, Nebraska, by helping people discover the hope, healing, and purpose found in Jesus Christ. Whether you are new to faith or have been walking with Christ for years, you have a place here.
How Everlasting Love Church Began
In 1991, Everlasting Love Church was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to share God’s everlasting love with the people of Columbus, Nebraska.
The name Everlasting Love Church was inspired by Jeremiah 31:3, which says, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.” Our founders believed that this verse encapsulated the very heart of God—a love that is constant, unchanging, and always reaching out to draw people closer. The mission of our church has always been to reflect this divine love in everything we do, from worship to teaching to community outreach. No matter who you are or where you come from, we want you to experience the depth of God’s everlasting love and be transformed by it.
From a small gathering in a local hotel to a growing congregation in our permanent home, God has been faithful every step of the way. Over the years, we have expanded, built new spaces, and launched ministries that equip individuals, families, and the community to walk in faith.

Our Beliefs
It was written by men under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any form of error. There are over 200 specific prophecies in the Old Testament—written over a period of thousands of years by many different writers—that clearly point to Jesus. They tell of His place of birth, where He would grow up, the manner in which He would die and be buried, and even the very year He would die. Any reasonable statistical analysis of this only reinforces the veracity of this holy document.
2 Tim. 3:15-17, 1 Pet. 1:23, Heb. 4:12
God exists as the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Each part of the Trinity serves a different function and purpose, but they each possess equal power and authority.
1 John 5:7, John 10:30, Luke 1:35, Col. 1:15-17
Jesus is completely human and completely God. He is God’s only plan for bringing people back into a right relationship with Him. Jesus was sent by God, lived a perfect and blameless life on earth, and bore God’s judgment for sin, becoming a sacrifice and substitution for all people. He defeated death by rising from the dead so that we could have eternal life, ascended into Heaven, and will return again one day to reign as King.
Col. 2:9, Isa. 9:6, John 1:14, Phil. 2:5-11, Matt. 1:23
God made man His most prized creation. Every human personality is uniquely created and is worthy of dignity, respect, and Christian love. Man was created to live in relationship with God, but sin separated man from Him, causing the image of God in man to become distorted. As a result, no human can fully live within His image apart from receiving Jesus, who is the express image of God’s person.
1 Cor. 15:44-49, II Cor. 3:18, Gen. 1:26-27
Salvation is freely given when those who trust in Jesus—believing in His death, burial, and resurrection—ask him to be the Lord and Savior of their lives. Salvation cannot be earned or obtained by any human effort. It is freely given by God’s grace and must be willfully accepted through faith.
Rom. 6:23, II Cor. 9:15, Eph. 2:8-9
Heaven and Hell are real places. Those who know God and have received salvation will ascend into Heaven when their physical bodies die. Those who have not will descend into Hell and be separated from God forever. Our sins must be paid for. We will either pay for them ourselves and bear the punishment of Hell, or we will receive Christ and, through God’s mercy, make Heaven our eternal home.
II Thess. 1:8-9, Jude 7, Rev. 20:12-15, John 14:2-4, Phil. 1:21, II Cor. 5:6-8
As Jesus promised, He will physically return to the earth for a second time to establish His Kingdom. He will reward those who have faithfully followed Him and obeyed His commands.
I Thes. 4:16-18, Rev. 22:12-13, Titus 2:13-14, Acts 1:9-11
Water Baptism is a public declaration of one’s decision to follow Christ and to obey His commands. While infant baptism may be sacred to one’s religious upbringing, it is not found in the Bible. Water Baptism should occur when a person who has received Christ willfully and publicly expresses that belief. It is an outward expression of one’s faith in Christ. During baptism, a person is fully immersed in water, publicly identifying with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. As they come out of the water, they are symbolically raised up as a new person in Christ.
Acts 2:38-39, Matt. 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-17
While all born-again Christians have the Holy Spirit within them—in so much as they have been born of the Spirit— there is a separate and distinct experience from salvation that the Bible calls “The Baptism of the Holy Spirit”. In the book of Acts, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is detailed on 5 different occasions. When a person receives the Holy Spirit, they obtain a new prayer language, biblically called “speaking in other tongues.” Jesus commanded all believers to receive the person of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:1-4, Acts 8:14-17, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19:1-7
God wants us to live in full health so that we can walk out the calling He has for us. The Bible says that Jesus went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. However, it is important to understand that God’s healing power must be received by the grace of God through faith.
James 5:14-15, Matt. 8:16-17, Acts 10:38, Heb. 13:8
Marriage is the God-designed institution where one man, born biologically as a man, and one woman, born biologically as a woman, enter into a lifelong, exclusive relationship. This holy relationship is a parallel of Christ and His bride—the Church.
Gen. 2:20-25, Heb. 13:4, Matt. 19:4-6, Eph. 5:21-33
The Church is not a building. The Bible says that each of us have been placed by God into the body of Christ. Like our human bodies, each part has a very distinct function. The Church is where we move beyond our individual lives and, with each of us taking our God ordained places, work together to reach all people with the gospel and the message of God’s love.
Rom. 12:4-5, I Cor. 12:12-27, Eph. 5:23
