Christmas Worship: Dec. 20
December 18, 2020
Dear Friends,
Please join us as we celebrate and remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday, December 20 at 10am. Our celebration will be combined with observing the fourth Sunday of Advent.
We no longer have a celebration on Christmas Eve because of the challenge of driving at night for many of our members.
Please join us!

Prayer Web, Faith Web & Outcome Based Youth Ministry
October 19, 2018
Hope Lutheran is dedicated to birthing and growing lifelong faith in the youth, children and grandchildren of our congregation. We advocate and train our congregation to engage in building prayer webs, faith webs and pursuing outcome based youth ministry.
We currently have a group of dedicated prayer warriors who pray almost daily for all the children and youth who have been either baptized or confirmed in our congregation.
Also, if you would like to know more about faith webbing and outcome based youth ministry, here are some helpful links:

Our Church: “Not for Ourselves”
August 3, 2018
Hope Lutheran Church desires to live under the rule and reign of our Lord Jesus Christ, seeking His kingdom in all of life. In other words, we aim to be a “church not for ourselves” which is in contrast to maintaining and growing an organization or meeting members’ needs as a primary focus.
