The Lizzie Robinson House, located at 2864 Corby Street in North Omaha, Nebraska, is the location of the first Church of God in Christ congregation in the state. Built in 1910, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was designated an Omaha landmark in 1992.
Edward and Lizzie Robinson founded the first Church of God in Christ in the state of Nebraska after they moved to Omaha in 1916. The Robinsons resided here with their daughter, Ida Baker, from 1916 through 1924.[2] According to the City of Omaha, "Mrs. Robinson is significant historically for her role as organizer of the women’s ministry for the Church of God in Christ, the largest African American Pentecostal denomination in the world."[3]
