Building Hope for Tomorrow
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!
We aren’t just building Hope for us, we’re doing something now that will continue to have a positive impact on people who will come to Hope and experience the life-saving love of Jesus Christ through the ministry of this church long after we are gone. The money given to Building Hope for Tomorrow is a short-term investment with some serious potential for long-term results!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
