Our Mission

Sharing the hope of Jesus with a world in need of hope.

Who We Are

With the power of the GOSPEL, the Good News of Jesus Christ, we – the people of Hope:

GATHER in worship – GROW in love – GIVE in service – GO to share the hope of Jesus with a world in need of hope.

Jesus Christ calls us to make disciples, not members. However, we do believe belonging to a community of believers participating in Hope Groups, Bible Study, Worship, and owning Christ’s mission is a part of the discipleship process. We encourage everyone who calls Hope their home to go through “Discovering the 5G’s” to help you understand our mission and take your next step to being a fully devoted follower of Christ.

If you have any questions regarding the positions posted, please contact us at employment@sharethehope.org.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and its related entities, Hope Lutheran Church, are in agreement with the civil rights laws of this country. We, as employers, are generally exempt from the provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids discrimination in employment based on religion; therefore, we retain the right to give preference in the hiring of persons who are Christian and/or members in good standing of LCMS congregations.

Beyond this religious exception, it is our employment practice under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 not to discriminate in hiring, training, compensating, promoting, or terminating employees because of an individual's race, color, or sex (except where ministers of religion are required), pregnancy, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, severe/morbid obesity, medical condition, military or veteran status, genetic information, marital status, ethnicity, alienage or any other protected classification, in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. The Organization takes allegations of discrimination, intimidation, harassment, and retaliation very seriously and will promptly conduct an investigation when warranted. Equal employment opportunity includes, but is not limited to, employment, training, promotion, demotion, transfer, leaves of absence, and termination.
