The mission statement of Hope Lutheran Church is, "Pointing to Christ---Hope for the Home."  However, this is only a small window into the ambitious mission of the church.  We believe that Jesus Christ was a true man who really walked this earth and commanded his followers to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).

As Lutherans, we believe that we cannot by our own efforts "convert" people to Christianity, that is purely the work of the Holy Spirit through the proclamation of the gospel (Romans 10:17).  We consider the ability and calling to proclaim the good news of salvation by grace through faith a privilege that we have been given through the freedom we have in Christ.  Therefore, with joy and thanksgiving our mission is to go out into all the world with the good news that Jesus died and rose again so that all people could be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (I Timothy 2:4).
