Lutheran Church of Hope - Waukee

Worship

No matter what service you choose, we promise God always shows up. After all, it’s His church and he’s at the center of all we do! We intentionally offer a wide variety of options for worship – from traditional to contemporary – and remain open to new waves of innovation sent to the church by the Holy Spirit. So, whether you are looking for a weekend evening or morning worship opportunity, or are out of town and need a midweek service, we’ve got something for everyone and we hope you will join us!

Grow

One of our Core Values at Hope is that following Jesus is a growing experience. We can't outgrow Christian faith. As modern day disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to move from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity For this reason, we strive to bring people into an ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This growth best happens in life groups (Acts 2:42-47). As we grow in faith, we turn our hearts to God, giving of ourselves and our resources – freely and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Serve

Serving others is one of the greatest blessings God offers us. Acts of selfless service allow us to bring glory to God and shine his light in this world! Whether you are looking to serve here at Hope, or outside in our community or around the world, we have a number of places for you to jump right in and be the hands and feet of Jesus to our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Care

The Care Ministry exists to reach out to the members, friends, and families of the church and community, and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ with those in need of special care. The people serving in this ministry seek to be present during the storms of life, bringing the presence of Christ and the promises of God. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can best support you!

Give

Bible-based giving isn’t about guilt or pressure. It’s about discovering the joy of cheerful generosity in response to God’s amazing grace. All we have is a gift from God, and we’re created to give, not just consume. As followers of Jesus, we don’t give to get noticed, or to get something back. Instead, we give freely and generously to God for the mission of his church from what God has first given us. At Hope, we take seriously the responsibility to distribute offerings faithfully. Our financial books are open to church members, and we’re fast approaching our goal to become a 50/50 church – giving half of all offerings to our local and global mission partners.

Youth

We believe kids are important because God believes kids are important! Through dynamic teaching, worship, and activities, our hope it is to reach kids with the love of Jesus and teach them all we can about him! We want them to know God made them, that he is their friend, and that they can be real and honest with God.
