Hope Lutheran Church Missouri Synod

Hope Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod located on the east side of Des Moines, Iowa. We would love for you to join us in any activities or services!

We are called in the Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations. Hope’s ministry process will encourage your movement toward fulfillment of this commandment, while deepening your own relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Hope Lutheran’s ministry process is based on the Parable of the Sower found in Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8. Here Jesus tells us how we are like soil and what grows is our faith. In this parable God sows the seed, it takes root and grows as it is nourished, and in the process bears fruit. The more we receive God’s Word (the seed) the more we will grow in faith (roots) and the more we will share the hope of Christ with others (bear fruit).

This process is perpetual. We need to be fed through God’s Word in order to grow in our faith and to be able to spread the Hope of Christ to others and invite them to share in the ministry process. Explore the links above to learn more about how Hope Lutheran Church is building disciples.
