On September 13, 1997 a combined group of 41 people from Millard Bible Church and a group from the Papillion area assembled together to form what would become Rolling Hills Church.
In July, 2001, Rolling Hills moved to their new church building located at 1510 Papillion Drive. It was an exciting morning of worship and celebration of God’s provision.
Pastor Rod Anderson was called to serve as the first Senior Pastor of RHC. During the first six years, under the leadership of Pastor Rod, the church continued to grow not only in numbers but in its impact in the Papillion Community.
Rolling Hills Church called its second pastor, Brian Classen, an Omaha native.Brian accepted the call of Senior Pastor and arrived on June 1, 2004. Brian’s 17 years of pastoral experience was in Student Ministries where he served as youth pastor in three churches ranging in size from 400 to 5,000 members.
His experience in large church ministry drives his passion to keep people connected through small groups. Soon after his arrival, RHC launched their dynamic Small Group Ministry.
The next year and a half, we saw dramatic growth and change.
Our attendance grew from a little over 100 to over 300 and many came to know Christ and were baptized as a result of the ministries of RHC.
 On December 18, 2005 we officially launched the new name of Shadow Lake Community Church. The leadership felt this change would help identify us more with our community and geographically place us in the Papillion area. It was an exciting morning as the Mayor and other dignitaries celebrated the launching of Shadow Lake Community Church.
On October 1, 2006 a partnership with Pleasantview Church was formed. The joining of these two bodies, with the vision that together that they could accomplish more than apart, has led to an exciting new era at Shadow Lake Community Church.
On June 1, 2011, Lance Burch and his family made Papillion their home. Lance accepted the Lead Pastor position after 20 years in Youth Ministry in Texas and Maryland. He brings experience with church growth and is excited to see where God will lead SLCC and how He will use us to reach the metro and the world for Christ!.
With a continued commitment to the Word of God and a heart for evangelism we have seen the church body grow to over 800 strong. We are excited to see how God will use us to “Impact Our Community for Eternity”. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as together we write the next chapter of Shadow Lake Community Church.
