Traditional Service | Lutheran Church of Hope

Tune in LIVE now!

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.
