About Us

Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.

We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Hope Lutheran Church dates back to 1845! Believers meeting in homes, determined a church was needed, and so a log cabin with a dirt floor was built very close to where the current building stands today.
Hope Lutheran Church is one of the oldest churches in Jefferson County and is the oldest Lutheran Church still active and in the same location this side of the Mississippi.
In 1862, the log church was replaced with a framed building. In 1913 the current facility was built, and then remodeling and additions took place in 1962 to modernize the historic building.
Throughout the years the church has experienced change to its methods of sharing the Gospel, but the message itself has never changed; We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by Christ alone.
