We’re Glad You’re Here!
Lutheran Church of Hope is a multi-site church based in West Des Moines, Iowa, with seven campuses, a thriving online community, as well as several Hope Local Sites throughout the Midwest. Whether you’re looking for an in-person or online worship experience, contemporary or traditional services, large worship spaces that seat 2,500 people or more intimate settings that seat 100, Hope has a seat waiting for you and an awesome community of believers who are ready to welcome you! We invite you to come take a look!
One Church. Multiple Locations.
Hope has campuses in West Des Moines, Ames, Ankeny, Des Moines (Hope+Elim), Grimes, Waukee and Iowa City in addition to Hope Online and seven Hope Local Sites across the Midwest. Each campus shares the same mission, to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ, but is uniquely different in how they live that out through various forms of worship, ministry, prayer and service in the community and beyond.
New to Hope?
God didn’t wire us up to do life alone. In fact, he wired us up to do life together! And there are several ways for you to do just that at Hope! At first glance, Hope may seem like a big place, but if you take a look around, you’ll quickly see we have hundreds of ways for you to find a smaller community – whether through taking a class, joining a group, volunteering on a team or at weekly worship!
