First Lutheran Church

About this church

First Lutheran Church in Hope, Minnesota, is a congregation affiliated with Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Worship begins at 9 a.m. on Sundays and blends contemporary songs with traditional hymns, centered on a message from Scripture. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month, and all who believe in Jesus Christ are invited to receive it. On those same Sundays, a time of congregational prayer follows worship. The church meets at 8953 SW 37th Avenue and describes itself as an informal congregation that opens its doors to all with no pressure on visitors.

The website lists sections for Bible study, outreach, a prayer ministry, a group called Warriors of the Word, and youth resources, along with a newsletter, a staff page, and a blog. Youth Sunday School and confirmation are described as being in transition. The congregation confesses the historic creeds, the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, and the Small Catechism, and its stated beliefs treat the Bible as the highest authority in matters of faith and life. The church also maintains Facebook and YouTube pages. For questions, call 507-451-3854 or email the church; office hours are by appointment.
