Building Hope for Tomorrow
“Building Hope for Tomorrow” is all about mission and outreach. We’re building and renovating holy spaces to share the spiritually-refreshing and soul-renewing power and light of God’s amazing love with our neighbors and the world around us. As a mission church after God’s own heart, we want to discover what God can do through us (not just for us) for the sake of the world. That’s why we’re “Building Hope for Tomorrow” …
Jesus said, “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” -Matthew 6:21
Over $20 million has already been given (our 1-time offerings) or pledged (our 3-year commitments) to “Building Hope for Tomorrow” in West Des Moines, with over $34 million in total offering and pledges at all Hope campuses … far exceeding our highest giving goals!
As a result, and as our giving commitments are fulfilled, we will soon begin construction on a new outreach center, food pantry, community teen center, and other holy spaces for our community to gather, connect, work, play, and pray here at Hope. Praise God and thank you, Lutheran Church of Hope, for your overflowing generosity!
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
