Hope Lutheran Church

Who We Are

Gather. Grow. Go; Sharing the Hope that has saved us.

Hope is a Christian church with roots in the Lutheran tradition. We hold the three ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions to be faithful expressions of God's truth revealed to us in the Bible. Hope is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Just as we need food to nourish our bodies, we need food for our souls. God has given us his Word, which he tells us is living water. We gather together around this living water every Sunday morning at 9:00. During this hour, you and your children will hear a message of real hope for real life - a message from God's lips to your heart, so that you may always be sure of his forgiveness and love. You will have the opportunity to hear and participate in music with a meaningful message, prayer, and thanksgiving.

What is the community like?
Our vision is to be an active church family that has a passion for sharing Jesus' love with more and more people in Spearfish, the surrounding towns, and throughout the world. All the while, we will pursue excellence in everything we do to God's glory.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Bible 101 is offered to anyone who is interested in a basic overview of God's Word or in membership at Hope. No previous Bible knowledge is needed! Your questions are welcome! Pastor Schutz is also willing to teach this class to any couple or individual who wants to study the Bible in their home.

My faith and my family's faith has grown exponentially since we joined Hope in 2009. The teaching of WELS is true to God's Word. Everything that is preached and taught points back to scripture. The atmosphere is welcoming and definitely family oriented!
