Kairos College Ministry
Wednesdays, 8:00 pm, Old Brick
Kairos is a grace-based community that freely shares the soul-satisfying love of Jesus. Through a midweek worship service, as well as opportunities to connect, serve, and grow with other college students, there’s a place and a way for you to get plugged in at Kairos! All are welcome, so bring a friend (or two!).
Lots of people have lots of opinions about Jesus, sometimes shaped more by personal preferences, worldviews, and traditions than the actual Messiah revealed in Scripture. At Lutheran Church of Hope, we want everyone to meet, and get to know at the deepest levels, the Jesus of the Gospels: the One who heals, comforts, challenges, restores, surprises, and has the power to transform us and our world!
That’s why our 2026 annual theme at Hope is:
Jesus for Real: One Year. Four Gospels. Infinite Hope!
