Hope Lutheran Church

About this church

Hope Lutheran Church in Akron, a congregation of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, sits on Portage Lakes Drive in Coventry Township. Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m. is a traditional liturgical service drawn from the Lutheran Service Book and accompanied by a Holtkamp pipe organ. Holy Communion is offered on the first and third Sundays of the month, and visitors who wish to receive it are asked to speak with the pastor before the service. Times appear on the website; confirm there before a first visit.

An adult Bible class meets Sundays from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. and uses the English Standard Version. At the same hour from September through May, Sunday school serves children from preschool through fifth grade with Bible lessons, music and crafts, while students in sixth grade and up meet in the youth room for discussion and games. Youth and adult confirmation classes, based on Luther's Small Catechism, are scheduled as needed. A fellowship hour with coffee follows worship on the second Sunday of each month, and groups such as a men's breakfast and a card-playing gathering meet through the year. There is no dress code. A ramp by the flagpole, an elevator, an accessible restroom and wheelchair space in the front pews serve guests with mobility needs, and services are streamed online. The church also runs Hope Lutheran Preschool for ages 3 to 5.
