Our Staff

Meet the Staff at Hope West Des Moines

Lutheran Church of Hope’s Church Council and staff work together to serve this Christ-centered, Spirit-led, Bible-based community called Hope! Hope is far closer to a “hospital for sinners” than a “hangout for saints.” We are a not a country club, a chamber of commerce or a church that puts politics before Jesus. Our primary purpose is not to point people to this church – we exist to point people to the God of this church!
