Hope Lutheran is a new church in the Houston Heights area. Our founding members and families came together to build a community to worship and serve alongside our neighbors.

We are a Christian church. We believe that every person was born into this world as a sinner, completely unable to save themselves. But God solved that problem of sin by sending his son Jesus into the world to live the perfect life that we could not, die on the cross to pay for our sins, and rise from the dead to give eternal life in heaven to all who believe.

We are a Lutheran Church. The Lutheran faith can be summed up in three words: grace, faith, and Scripture. We believe we are saved not by any good deeds we do or any pledge we make to God, but only by his grace shown to us in Jesus. We believe that through faith in Jesus, his perfect life is gifted to us, and our sins stand forgiven because of his death. We believe that Scripture  is God’s pure, inspired word, which he gave to us so that we would believe in him and have eternal life with him in heaven.

We are a Biblical church. We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, which he gave us out of his goodness and love so that we could believe in the message of Jesus and be saved. Everything we believe and teach at Hope comes from the Bible, because it is the only place we hear the unique message of God’s unrelenting love for humankind.

We belong to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Being a part of a synod (a large group of churches) allows us to be involved with more ministries than we possibly could on our own. Those ministries include an excellent pastor and teacher training system, humanitarian aid efforts both nationally and internationally, and global mission work.
