Building Hope for Tomorrow - Lutheran Church of Hope

Building Hope for Tomorrow in Ames

Building Hope for Tomorrow: Ames is a giving campaign to build a permanent home for Lutheran Church of Hope – Ames to deepen in our mission to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus. We look forward to being able, for the first time in our history, to have a place in which all people of all ages can meet on every day of the week. From Sunday worship to children’s and student ministry, Kairos for college students, adult ministry, special events, outreach and more, we’re eager to see what God has in store!

Over $4 million has already been given (our 1-time offerings) or pledged (our 3-year commitments) to “Building Hope for Tomorrow” in Ames, far exceeding our highest giving goals! As a result, and as our giving commitments are fulfilled, we will soon begin construction on a new permanent church building at 4925 Lincoln Way. Praise God and thank you, Lutheran Church of Hope, for your overflowing generosity!

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Building Hope for Tomorrow Updates

April 2025

The Saturday following Easter, we had the incredible blessing of breaking ground together as a church family! The prayer, gratitude and anticipation for all that’s ahead at Hope was palpable, and we can’t wait for the way that this building will allow us to deepen in our mission to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ.

In the following weeks, crews will be working to prepare the land for the foundations of the building to be laid; grading, clearing some vegetation, and creating a construction entrance. It is already so exciting to see the progress being made each day, and we look forward to continuing to update you on that progress in the months ahead. Thank you for joining us in prayer for this project!
