Formerly known as the Evangelical Free Church of Firth, Firth Bible Church has been at its present location in the heart of Firth, Nebraska since 1948. But the church’s history goes back in the community long before that. The church seeks to continue a long tradition of faithfully preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, standing firm on the foundation of God’s word.
We have entrusted oversight of the ministries and pastoral care of the church members to a board of elders, consisting of four godly men in the church which includes our pastor-teacher, Timothy Schmidt.
We desire to make ourselves and our ministries available to all in the community, currently drawing on members from Lincoln and all of the communities South of Lincoln, but especially we desire to minister to those in Firth and nearby. If you know of any spiritual or physical needs in our community that we could be used of God to help meet, please accept our invitation to contact us.
Some information on our pastor:

Upon graduating, Timothy spent a year in Wyoming as youth pastor at Immanuel Bible Church. Moving back to Lincoln, Timothy served as interim pastor for a church plant in Hastings, Nebraska. Jaime and Timothy then spent four years in Naples, Florida, working alongside local pastors in Naples Bible Fellowship and then in Berean Baptist Church.
