Hope Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation in Farmington Hills, Michigan, seeking to follow Jesus through worship, community, and service. We are a church that welcomes widely, loves deeply, and lives with faith in the world around us.
Hope Lutheran Church is part of the ELCA, a Lutheran Christian tradition centered on God’s grace, the life of Jesus, and the belief that faith is meant to be lived out in everyday life. We are a church with deep roots, but we are always growing and being renewed. We believe God’s love is for everyone, and we strive to be a place where all people are welcomed with compassion, honesty, and care. That shapes how we worship, how we treat one another, and how we seek to serve our neighbors and the wider world.
Learn more about the Lutheran faithThe mission and aspiration statements below reflect the shared purpose and direction of Hope Lutheran Church.
Hope Lutheran Church exists to seek, make, and be disciples of Jesus Christ in God’s church, community, and world.
We aspire to be a safe community of faith that welcomes and reaches out to people of all ages, cultures, economic statuses, races, sexual orientation, gender identities, and life experiences, rooted in worship, centered on Jesus Christ, treating each as we wish to be treated, loving each other and God in the way of Jesus.
Hope Lutheran Church began in 1977 through the courage and conviction of people who believed the church was being called to a more faithful and just way forward. What started as a new congregation shaped by conscience and shared purpose has grown over time, but the heart of Hope remains the same.
