Worship Services at Hope Lutheran Church
Hope is a congregation that seeks to be an inviting and friendly worshiping community. We value our Lutheran heritage, and each service follows a liturgical format, including the celebration of Holy Communion. Children are invited to share in a special message designed just for them at each service.
We currently offer three worship services each weekend where we receive God’s wondrous gifts through His Word and Sacraments. Online worship services are available weekly.

On Saturdays at 5:30 PM, we offer a contemporary worship service featuring songs led by Hope’s Praise Band. This service is not live-streamed.
On Sundays at 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM, we hold traditional worship services featuring many of the great hymns of our faith. These services are live-streamed on YouTube.
