What’s Happening at Hope?
Building Hope for Tomorrow is a giving campaign to create beautiful, God-honoring and highly functional holy spaces that will open new doors for Lutheran Church of Hope to love our neighbors, serve our community, and carry out Christ’s mission for generations to come as a faithful, vibrant, and culturally relevant 21st century church after God’s own heart!
Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 2 & 3
Join us for weekend services as we celebrate 30 years as a church and cast the vision for the years ahead!
Saturday, Nov. 2, 5:00-6:30 pm
Join us for an extended time of worship, including music, reflection and prayer.
Learn all about the vision and goals of Building Hope for Tomorrow. Hosted by a Fireside Chat Host, you’ll hear a short video message from Pastor Mike who will communicate the purpose and vision of the campaign. The goal is for 100% of all Hopesters to attend a chat that works for you!
Tuesday, Oct. 29, 7:00 pm & Sunday, Nov. 3, 12:15 pm
If you’d like to be a Fireside Chat Host, join us for a Host Training Session! Small group leaders are encouraged to send a representative from their group to one of the training sessions, where they will become equipped to host a Fireside Chat as a part of your regularly scheduled small group time.
Sunday, Nov. 3, 1:30 pm & Saturday, Nov. 9, 9:00 am
Join other Hope members as we walk along the perimeter of Hope’s building and pray. We will stop at different points to give thanks and pray as a group. Families, small groups and individuals are all welcome to attend (in case of inclement weather, we will walk and pray the interior of the building). Meet at the main entrance; no registration necessary.

You were made for more! Let us help you discover how you can make a difference.
Find a Class
Following Jesus is a growing experience. Even the most mature Christians continue to move around the Hope Circle. We have hundreds of classes and events to help you on your journey, including The Alpha Course, Bible studies, support groups, prayer classes and many more. There’s something for everyone at Hope!
Join a Group
Find your people! At first Hope might seem like a big place, but if you stop and take a look around, you’ll notice we have all kinds of small groups doing book or bible studies together. Make new friends, do life together, pray for one another, and create enduring relationships whether you’re a introvert or extrovert. We’re better together!
Volunteer at Hope
Serving others is one of the greatest blessings from God. Bring glory to God and shine your light to the world! Be a greeter, help serve food, teach children, mentor a junior high school student, run audiovisuals, play in the orchestra, be a prayer partner or go on a mission trip! There are all kinds of ways to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our brothers and sisters in Christ!
