Lincoln Christian University (LCU), formerly Lincoln Christian College and Seminary (LCCS), is a Christian higher education community whose mission is to nurture and equip Christians with a Biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church and the world. Its main campus is located in Lincoln, Illinois, with extension sites at Eastview Christian Church in Normal, Illinois, Outlook Christian Church outside of Indianapolis, Indiana and at 8965 S. Eastern Ave. Ste 150, in Las Vegas, Nevada. LCU is affiliated with the Christian churches and churches of Christ.

LCU's graduate Seminary offers Master's degrees (including a Master of Divinity) and a Doctor of Ministry degree. The University also offers continuing educational programs at its various sites and online.

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.
