Hope Lutheran Church

About this church

Hope Lutheran Church in Des Moines holds an in-person worship service on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. at 3857 East 42nd Street. An adult Bible class follows at 10:15 a.m., about fifteen minutes after the service ends, and Sunday School for youth meets at the same hour in rooms organized by age. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of each month. The church posts worship videos and sermon documents on its website for those who cannot attend in person, and a What to Expect page helps first-time visitors prepare.

Beyond Sunday morning, the congregation offers a Love Bible Study on weekday mornings and lists a student ministry that includes confirmation and a high school program, with a calendar and resources for parents and students. Hope Lutheran Preschool operates at the church as a Christian, play-based program that emphasizes the whole child, with classes on weekdays and a separate pre-enrollment form for families. The church also hosts weddings and provides a prayer request form and a Looking for Help page for people in need. The church office is open Monday through Friday during the daytime. Confirm service and class times on the website or by phone before visiting.
