Welcome to Hope!
Thanks for checking out Hope Lutheran Church where ministry is about being authentic and relevant while keeping our focus on serving God’s creation.
We welcome everyone. That means–every- single-person! We’re not looking to change anyone but rather offer a safe space to take off our masks and get real with one another and God. We are here to have soul conversations about things that really matter daily and where God exists in it all.
We’re experiencing God right here and calling others to do the same.

MARCH PRAYER PETITION
Holy God, help us to remember always that all of us share in your
grace. Help us to be mindful of our humanity. Give us the peace that
makes us peaceful to others. Give us the faith to see what it means to
live in love, generosity, and joy remembering that we are first and
always your children. Help us to see with our hearts and to be a
blessing to those in need. Guide us with the charity of your forgiveness
and the all-consuming love of your heart. Lord help us to understand
that the wars and suffering are part of your plan that we cannot
discern. We pray for your peace, love, and understanding for all
people, especially those in positions of authority who must make
decisions affecting so many of our fellow travelers on life’s journey.
Lord in your mercy. Hear my prayer.
