Join Us for Weekly Worship!
Weekly worship is a great opportunity to connect with others and soak in God’s presence through hope-filled music and a message. Together, we share and celebrate the everlasting, life-changing love of Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us at one of our services detailed below!

Kairos Weekday Service
Kairos is Lutheran Church of Hope’s college ministry that freely shares the soul-satisfying love of Jesus!
Wednesdays, 8:00 pm at The Link (3329 Lincoln Way).
Jesus Quest
Lots of people have lots of opinions about Jesus, sometimes shaped more by personal preferences, worldviews, and traditions than the actual Messiah revealed in Scripture. At Lutheran Church of Hope, we want everyone to meet, and get to know at the deepest levels, the Jesus of the Gospels: the One who heals, comforts, challenges, restores, surprises, and has the power to transform us and our world!

Jesus for Real
2026 Year-Long Theme
Lots of people have lots of opinions about Jesus, sometimes shaped more by personal preferences, worldviews, and traditions than the actual Messiah revealed in Scripture. At Lutheran Church of Hope, we want everyone to meet, and get to know at the deepest levels, the Jesus of the Gospels: the One who heals, comforts, challenges, restores, surprises, and has the power to transform us and our world!
That’s why our 2026 annual theme at Hope is:
Jesus for Real: One Year. Four Gospels. Infinite Hope!
