Hope is a Christian church! We believe that Jesus is the Christ. He is God the Son. He truly did rise from the dead and that makes all the difference for everyone forever!

Here are some basic spiritual truths that the Bible shares:
You are not perfect. Nobody is.
However, in order to be in God's holy, pure, perfect presence we need to be perfect.
This natural seperation from God is called sin.
Sin cannot exist in heaven and with God.
Sin separates us from God and leads to death.
Jesus came and lived on earth without sin. He faced death without sin as a "sacrifice" or an "atonement" for every person that has ever lived with sin.
All people have the path to the "perfectness" of heaven opened up to them through Jesus' conquering death and rising to New Life!
Through a relationship of faith in Jesus...we too will conquer death and rise to life with our God for all eternity!
That is why we refer to Jesus as our SAVIOR!
The Trinity
The Bible teaches us this truth:
God the Father: the Creator of all that exists.
God the Son: Jesus, who came in the flesh in order to suffer and face death and to rise to life... for the purpose of all mankind having the victory over death afforded to them.
God the Holy Spirit: Creates and builds up our faith and holiness within us.

The Bible
We believe that the Bible is a collection of writings that were inspired by God Himself. We take our teachings, values and doctrines from the Bible alone.

| The Christian walk
There are three phrases that are frequently used to summarize much of our Lutheran teachings about our Christian faith:
Grace Alone. Even though we don't deserve it, out of love, God has provided the free gift of the path of forgiveness. We have the gift of being "in right" with God (righteousness) through believing in Jesus.
Faith Alone. It is through a relationship of faith in Jesus as Savior that a person has the gift of eternal life and forgiveness offered to them.
Scripture Alone. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is without error. We can trust in His Word, where Jesus is revealed as the Savior of the World to us.

You are invited. One does not need to be a Lutheran in order to come here and explore their relationship with Almighty God.
We want you to come and hear about what God has done for you.

A church home is a great opportunity for you to get together with others who are interested in Jesus and to grow closer and closer in a love relationship with the God who loves you!
