Lebanon Presbyterian Church

What Lebanon Presbyterian Church does

Lebanon Presbyterian Church (LPC) is a non-profit religious organization founded in 1805 in Lebanon, Ohio, operating as a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) since 2012. The church serves individuals and families across all life stages through two Sunday worship services: a traditional 8:30 AM service in the historic Sanctuary featuring pipe organ music, and a contemporary 11:00 AM service in the Kingdom Building (The Ark) featuring multimedia and a worship band. LPC operates a comprehensive ministry ecosystem including children's programming (Sunday School, Children's Church, Vacation Bible School), student ministry (Encounter for grades 7-12), young adults ministry (ages 18-25), and adult education programs spanning Bible studies, men's/women's groups, and marriage enrichment.

The church generates revenue primarily through tithes and offerings, supplemented by fee-based educational programs including the LPC Preschool and Daycare (weekly fees ranging from $110 for before/after school care to $220 for full-day daycare with preschool, with sibling discounts) and annual preschool tuition ($1,440 to $1,980). The LPC Marian Haven Playschool, established in 1968, operates as a tuition-free mission outreach serving 12 four-year-olds annually with only a $3 per week snack fee. Revenue collection is facilitated through the Suran online giving platform supporting single and recurring contributions.

LPC's technology infrastructure is built on the Nucleus church platform powering the website, event registration, and content management, with YouTube live streaming (LPCSundays channel) providing remote participation for the traditional worship service. The church operates from a single campus at 123 North East Street comprising interconnected historic and modern facilities including the Sanctuary, Kingdom Building, Encounter youth room, prayer chapel, classrooms, and preschool/daycare facilities. LPC maintains global mission partnerships spanning Kenya, Mexico (Yucatan since 1943), India, Cuba, Argentina, and various other countries, alongside local partnerships with Family Promise, Lebanon Food Pantry, and Joshua's Place. The 16-person staff team includes two pastors (Jeff Moore and Stephanie Poblenz), ministry directors, and preschool/daycare personnel.
