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.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Postmark and Postal Possession Rule – Effective December 24th, flat mail (letters, stamped mail, or post-prepaid mail) will not be postmarked until sorted by the automated machine at your local post office or at a regional processing and distribution center. As a result, it may take several days after the mail is first received at the post office, for postmarks. If you have mail that must have a specific postmark date, please go into the post office and ask the retail postal agent to hand stamp your mail and obtain a receipt.
