About Us

For almost 70 years Hope Lutheran has provided a consistent confessional liturgical worship, Sunday school and youth programs. In the 1990's the church began to look for other ways to minister. It was then the church chartered with Boy Scouts of America to form a troop still in operation today. Additionally, the church began to oﬀer lay led Bible studies for men and women. In the early 2000's the church operated a thriving preschool for 7-8 years. For years the LWML group has supported mission work and made quilts for those in need. Roughly 5 years ago Pastor Wulf and members of Hope began to explore developing a ministry to special needs children/families. While the realization of this endeavor is still our prayers, we also offer a variety of children's and family related events. Most recently Hope LC offers a monthly family game night (First Friday Family Night) as well as weekly teen and adult Bible/book studies. Whether it be singing hymns in choir, participating in mid-week services, or serving those in need, youth and adults enjoy serving together.

What We Believe

With the universal Christian Church, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became a man to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God. Being “Lutheran”, our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases:

Grace alone: God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
Faith alone: By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
Scripture alone: The Bible is God’s inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.

The word “Synod” in The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod is rooted in the Greek words that mean “walking together.” It has an important meaning for our church body, because the congregations voluntarily choose to belong to the Synod. Diverse in their service, these congregations hold to a shared confession of Jesus Christ as taught in Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.
