Hope is a congregation that seeks to be an inviting and friendly worshipping community.
We value our Lutheran heritage, and each service follows a liturgical format that includes the celebration of Holy Communion. Also, children are invited to share a special message designed just for them at each service. While Hope does not use any specific hymnal or hymnbook, we draw from various resources to prepare our services.
We currently offer three worship service times each weekend where we receive God’s wondrous gifts through his Word and Sacraments. Online worship services are available weekly, as well.
Saturday 5:30PM
Contemporary worship service featuring songs led by Hope’s Praise Band. This service is not live-streamed.
Sunday 8:30AM and 11:00AM
Traditional worship services featuring many of the great hymns of our faith. These services are live-streamed.

Palm Sunday Weekend, March 24-25 (5:30PM 8:30AM & 11:00AM)
At each of the services, the children of the church will march down the aisle waving palm branches, as we recall Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. We will joyfully sing “Hosanna!” and offer our praises; but, at the same time, we begin to prepare our hearts in this service for what is coming next in the story of Christ’s fateful final week.
Both Sunday services will be live-streamed.
Maundy Thursday, March 28 (7:00PM)
As Jesus gathered with his disciples for a Last Supper before he was crucified, so we gather around the Lord’s Table on this holy night. We will hear the story of Judas’ betrayal, and confess our own sins of unfaithfulness before sharing in the Sacrament of Communion. The service concludes with the solemn Stripping of the Altar, signifying how our Savior was stripped of his dignity and honor during his arrest, trial, and crucifixion.
This service will be live-streamed.
Good Friday, March 29 (7:30PM)
The Tenebrae Service of Darkness is one of the most moving and eloquent worship hours of the whole year. We hear the seven “Words From The Cross” that Jesus spoke, and we remember soberly the sufferings and torments of Calvary. The sanctuary is slowly darkened, as we commemorate the death of our Lord for our sins.
This service will be live-streamed.
Easter Sunday, March 31 (6:30, 8:00, 9:30, & 11:00AM)
Hope’s celebration of the Lord Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead will remind us all of the meaning and power of Easter for our everyday living as God’s people. This glorious day begins with an outdoor Sunrise Service of Holy Communion, with special music led by the Praise Team. Three festival services will follow, in the worship Sanctuary, with special music led by the Handbell Choir, Senior Choir, and Brass Ensemble. There will be no Adult Education or Sunday School classes on Easter Sunday.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated at three Easter Sunday services (6:30, 8:00 & 11:00AM.) At the 9:30AM Easter Sunday Service, we’ll focus especially on the new life given to Christians in the Sacrament of Baptism, as we remember and renew our Baptismal vows.
The 8:00, 9:30, & 11:00AM services will be live-streamed.
