Let’s Worship!
Our mission at Lutheran Church of Hope is to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ! One of the many ways we do that at Hope Iowa City is through weekly worship. Whether it’s our Sunday morning contemporary service, or our Kairos Ministry for college students throughout the school year, we work hard to meet people where they are, and share the love of Jesus for all to hear!
