Living Hope Community Church

About this church

Living Hope Community Church near Council Bluffs begins Sunday School for adults and children at 9:00 a.m., followed by worship and a sermon at 10:00. Nursery care is available during both hours. Children join the larger congregation for opening worship, then leave for DIG when the sermon begins. The church identifies itself as an independent, nondenominational evangelical congregation and frames its life around worshipping God, loving neighbors, equipping believers, and carrying the gospel locally and internationally.

Living Hope’s story includes years of worship in temporary locations such as Mall of the Bluffs and the Iowa School for the Deaf. The congregation bought land between Council Bluffs and Treynor and completed its present building in December 2006. That location now supports worship, education, and partnerships with Christian workers and organizations serving nearby communities and other parts of the world. Its published beliefs describe baptism and Communion as church practices rather than means of salvation, with Communion open to those who confess Jesus as Lord. The campus is at 15101 Hope Lane, east of central Council Bluffs, so visitors should map the route rather than expect a downtown church. Contact the church for children’s details or accessibility questions before a first visit.
