WHY IT MATTERS

Why Hope Forward Matters

Hope Lutheran Church is entering a new chapter with gratitude, joy, and hope. As we welcome our new senior pastor on August 3, the Hope Forward Fund gives us a meaningful way to offer a strong and generous beginning.

This campaign also looks ahead to Hope’s 50th Anniversary in January 2027. For nearly five decades, Hope has been a place of worship, care, welcome, and grace. You can learn more about Hope on our About Us page.

Your gift helps support this pastoral transition, prepare for our anniversary year, and strengthen the ministries we share. Together, we can help Hope move forward in faith.

CAMPAIGN PRIORITIES

What Your Gift Supports

The Hope Forward Fund brings together three priorities that belong to one shared story: welcoming new leadership, honoring Hope’s history, and strengthening the ministry we share today.

01

Welcoming Our New Pastor

As Hope welcomes Pastor Erik Grayvold as our new senior pastor on August 3, we want to begin this next chapter with generosity, stability, and joy. Your gift helps support the practical needs of this transition and offers a strong sign of congregational commitment.

02

Celebrating 50 Years

In January 2027, Hope Lutheran Church will celebrate 50 years of ministry. Gifts to the Hope Forward Fund will help support anniversary programming as we honor Hope’s past and look ahead with gratitude and hope.

03

Supporting Hope’s Ministry

Hope’s ministry is growing through worship and faith formation for children, youth, and families. Your gift helps sustain this momentum, support both modern and traditional worship, and strengthen the ministries that help people of all ages find connection, belonging, and a deeper life of faith.
