Who We Are
Hope Ev. Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, located on the border between Land O’Lakes, Wisconsin and Watersmeet, Michigan. Since we were founded in 1951, God’s people at Hope have had the wonderful privilege of sharing the great good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, our Savior. Over these many years, God has richly blessed the ministry and mission outreach of our congregation and the joyful service of faithful members, parish leaders and pastors.
By virtue of our Baptism, our adoption into the family of God, the body of Christ, we truly are a family. Our family is enriched and blessed as we are privileged to welcome hundreds of visitors and seasonal residents to our church each year. The Christian love, kindness and friendliness that characterize Hope make this a truly wonderful place to be and visit.

What We Believe
This congregation Hope Ev. Lutheran Church is part of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS or Synod). The LCMS is a mission-oriented and Bible-based denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith in the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone” (Eph 2:20). With the universal Christian Church, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God, who created all that exists; became man to suffer, die, and rise again for the world’s redemption; and brings people to faith and new life through His Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – are co-equal and coeternal, one God.
