Weekly Services | Lutheran Church of Hope

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, 9:30* & 11:00 am and 5:00 pm

*Our Sunday, 9:30 am service will be changing to 9:15 on Sept. 7!

Hope’s Celebration Services at a Glance:

While you can expect the same great message and contemporary worship, each of Hope’s celebration services is uniquely different. We invite you to join us for the one that works best for you!

Saturday, 5:00 pm – Come-as-you-are, Spirit-filled
Sunday, 8:00 am – Shorter service, same music, lower volume
Sunday, 9:15 am (9:30 am until Sept. 7) – Big crowd, high-energy worship moving soon to a “new” time that’s actually back to the same old time
Sunday, 11:00 am – Big crowd, same high-energy worship at the same time
Sunday, 5:00 pm – Relaxed service with plenty of room, acoustic music, and (starting Sept. 7) weekly communion

All About the Bible

Summer may be winding down, but things are just winding up here at Hope as we kick off a brand new Back to School sermon series called “All About the Bible.” During this series we will dive into four important questions pertaining to the Bible: How Can We Make Sense of the Bible & Is It Reliable? Does the Old Testament Still Matter? What’s Wrong with Reading the Bible Wrong? How Can I Find My Place in God’s Story? Invite your friends, bring a Bible, and we will see you at worship!

Upcoming Sermons

How Can I Find My Place in God’s Story?
Aug. 30 & 31 Matthew 7:24-27

Volunteers and staff are there to answer any questions you may have and are happy to give you a free Hope T-shirt just for stopping by!

For the Kids!

We’re kid- and family-focused at Hope! Kids are always welcome to be with you in the Worship Center. If you’d rather have them attend Hope’s version of Sunday school, bring them to HopeKids.

We also offer childcare for infants – age 3 in the Nursery at all services and for many classes and events. The nursery opens 15 minutes prior to the start of events and worship.

For children age 3 (by Sept. 15 and potty-trained) through grade 5, HopeKids takes place on Saturdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 9:30 & 11:00 am. Check in kids at the welcome desks located by the main entrance or by the Youth & Family entrance on the east side of the building.
