Alaina Eckert

Lincoln Staff Worker

Alaina first came to Lincoln University hoping to finish the last semester of her Master’s in Nature Conservation. But God had bigger plans for her on the Lincoln campus.

As a graduate student in Lincoln, God used the CF group to remind her how vital fellowship is in the Kingdom of God. He longs for his children to be in a community, to encourage and walk alongside one another. After living on four continents in four years, God provided a space through CF where Alaina could again be a part of a physical “family” of believers.

Lo and behold, God graciously opened the doors to return to the Lincoln Campus as TSCF Staff Member after she graduated with her master’s degree in 2023. God has set it upon Alaina’s heart to support and invest in students following Christ and a desire for those who don’t know him to turn to Him. She loves doing life with students as they walk through big questions and engage with God’s word. It is truly one of her simple joys.

Other simple joys in Alaina’s life include good books, baking bread (a pandemic-established habit), tramping, diving (the SCUBA kind), visiting her international friends and watching American sports with her family.
