Get a great foundation for your spiritual life or recharge your spiritual life at “NEW HOPE”
BE ON THE LOOK OUT for people you can welcome warmly to Living Hope and share God’s love! Remember the 5 minute and 10 foot rule. That is, spend the first 5 minutes after the Sunday service welcoming people you haven’t met yet. And anyone within 10 feet of you, be sure to say “Hi!”

Summer at the Lake
Jesus’ encounters with people by the lakeshore give us a glimpse what Jesus is all about and what it’s like to have a relationship with Him.
JOIN US at Living Hope, starting Sunday August 10th.
What are people saying about Living Hope
"I was hopeful after that first visit that Living Hope was the place for my family and I, and the peace in my heart confirms my decision daily. Each member of my family is growing in their love for God, for each other and the community, and their understanding of what it means to be a Lutheran. I am deeply grateful to be a part of such an awesome church, and I can hardly wait to see what God will be doing next at Living Hope!"
"Since we've been at Living Hope, we look forward to our Sunday services, we are building stronger personal relationships with each other as a Christian family AND with other members of Living Hope. No one at this church comes off as stuffed shirted or prudy and they are very welcoming & caring instead of stand-offish and judgmental."
