Reaching out with the love of christ

Hope Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri  Synod

With the  guidance and blessing of our Michigan District, we look forward to the MERGING  of St. Matthew and Hope! This is a work in progress, probably taking a few  months to complete. In the meantime, we welcome our brothers and sisters in  Christ from St. Matthew’s to join us in worship and fellowship. God’s Mission and Ministry to and through us as His people will increase and grow as a result of this merger!

We also use the same Sunday School/Bible Class material focus, appropriate to age level, with Concordia’s “Enduring Faith” curriculum.

What About Children?

We encourage children of all ages to participate in worship with their parents.  We can stand a little noise! If you can't, we do have a “quiet room” just outside our sanctuary for those times when children need extra attention.  Parents can see and hear what’s happening in the sanctuary while tending to their little one(s). Our handicapped accessible bathroom includes a baby changing station.

What About Holy Communion?

In the Lutheran Church, Holy Communion is a Sacrament, a means of grace. It binds us together as one family. In this Sacrament, Jesus Christ pours himself into us to assure us that our sins are forgiven and to strengthen and nurture us so that we, in turn can reach out with hope of that same forgiveness to others.
Because of this, we reserve Holy Communion for members of the Lutheran Church and other Baptized Christians who realize their need for forgiveness and want to follow Jesus. If you have any questions, please speak to Pastor Herter.

What About the Offering?

We believe that the offering is an act of worship. We recognize that everything belongs to God, and in thanksgiving for all His gifts, we offer back to Him our very best. That said, the ministry of Hope Lutheran Church is the privilege and responsibility of it's members. When you are ready, we welcome you to join us in this ministry.

What Should I Wear?

At Hope Lutheran church, you will see people dressed in many different ways - some in suits and ties, some in tees & jeans. We are more interested in you than in what you are wearing. Wear something that shows respect to God and to others. Most of all, be comfortable!
