Hope Lutheran Church and Student Center

Hope Lutheran Church and Student Center Hope welcomes all who are seeking God's love and grace. Hope is a Reconciling In Christ congregation. Our pastor is the Rev. Julie R. Bringman.

Sunday mornings:
Worship 10:30 am

We are a community of growing disciples of Jesus Christ who love our neighbors, both near and far. We affirm that everyone is created in the image of God and is deserving of God’s love and grace. We recognize that for many people, “church” has not always felt like a welcoming place. We celebrate our human family’s diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity

, race, ethnicity, culture, and age. We embrace differences in relationship status, physical and mental ability, education, income, worldview, and political affiliation. We are committed to the full inclusion of all people in our community and invite you to journey with us toward a deeper faith, mutual respect, greater love and understanding, and reconciliation through Jesus Christ. Enter from the upper parking lot for worship and from the lower parking lot for other activities. The upstairs entrance is handicapped-accessible, and the elevator allows access to the lower level from the upper level.

Gracious God, out of your love and mercy you breathed into dust the breath of life, creating us to serve you and our neighbors. Call forth our prayers and acts of kindness, and strengthen us to face our mortality with confidence in the mercy of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. —Bread for the Day

Merry Christmas! Christ is born today!

"Do not be afraid; for see - I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:9-12).
