Come and See!
At Hope, we know worship is a “getta” instead of a “gotta!” In our worship and in our ministry, we intentionally offer a wide variety of options – traditional and contemporary, in person and online – to reach people of all ages and backgrounds. Whatever service you choose, you will always receive a warm welcome at a church that loves you and loves to worship the Lord!
Hope’s Celebration Services are high-energy, contemporary, Spirit-filled services in the Worship Center:
Saturday, 5:00 pm
Sunday, 8:00, 9:15 & 11:00 am and 5:00 pm

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!
Upcoming Sermons
