Join us for the Traditional Service at Hope

From traditional Lutheran liturgy to liturgical colors on the altar and robe-wearing pastors, Hope’s Traditional Service includes classic organ-led hymns, special choir, orchestra and brass ensembles, and weekly Holy Communion.

Sundays, 9:00 am
Hope West Des Moines Chapel

Set in Hope’s Chapel, the service meets every Sunday at 9:00 am and is livestreamed on YouTube. Services begin with instrumental or vocal musical ensembles to help worshipers experience the truth and love of Jesus Christ, followed by traditional liturgy from “the green book” – the Lutheran Book of Worship – followed by the Gospel reading, a live-preached sermon, weekly communion and classic hymns. Worshipers are invited to enjoy breakfast after the service in The Bridge.

The Hope Orchestra, the Chapel Brass, and the Adoration Choir each perform regularly at the Traditional Service.

Lay ministers help preside during the liturgy and volunteers serve communion each week. If you’d like to help with worship, let us know!

Jesus Quest

Lots of people have lots of opinions about Jesus, sometimes shaped more by personal preferences, worldviews, and traditions than the actual Messiah revealed in Scripture. At Lutheran Church of Hope, we want everyone to meet, and get to know at the deepest levels, the Jesus of the Gospels: the One who heals, comforts, challenges, restores, surprises, and has the power to transform us and our world!
