We’d love to have you join us for worship so we can get to know one another better!

What’s Happening at Hope Ankeny?
Lots of people have lots of opinions about Jesus, sometimes shaped more by personal preferences, worldviews, and traditions than the actual Messiah revealed in Scripture. At Lutheran Church of Hope, we want everyone to meet, and get to know at the deepest levels, the Jesus of the Gospels: the One who heals, comforts, challenges, restores, surprises, and has the power to transform us and our world!
That’s why our 2026 annual theme at Hope is:
Jesus for Real: One Year. Four Gospels. Infinite Hope!
Sunday, Jan. 11, 12:30-2:30 pm
Learn from church leaders what it means to be a member, available service and ministry opportunities, and the vision God has given Hope for the future. Walk-ins welcome. Lunch and childcare are provided!
Sundays, Jan. 18 – March 15, 12:30-2:30 pm
The Alpha Course is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner during thought-provoking weekly sessions. Each week, participants (age 18+) meet for a meal and large group talk followed by small group discussion. The course includes the Alpha Day Away, where many local Alpha Courses gather for a fun day of teachings, and discussion about the Holy Spirit on Feb. 28.
Friday, Feb. 20, 7:00-9:00 pm
We are excited to offer the Daddy Daughter Dance this February!! This is a time for girls age 3 – grade 6 to have some 1-1 time with someone special in their life.
