Baptisms

Baptisms at Hope Iowa City

At Lutheran Church of Hope, we believe baptism is a sacrament, commanded by God, where water is powerfully connected to God’s lifesaving Word. And, because God’s Word is present, we experience the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life! Baptisms at Hope Iowa City take place within our regular weekend service (Sunday at 9:30 am). If you’d like to learn more about baptisms at Hope Iowa City, please reach out to us and we’d love to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
