There are many of you that are expressing an interest in becoming a part of our church community through membership. We are excited about you continuing your faith life with us here at the Spirit of Hope Lutheran Church.

I would like to invite everyone to our next New Member Course occurring on January 15, 2022 at 10:30am. This orientation meeting will take place in the church sanctuary and will last about two hours.

This will be a chance to get to know others that will be joining along with you! Later in during a worship service we will be acknowledging those of you that have made the decision to become a part of our church family! If you are already a member and want to know more about your church please come!

If you have any questions concerning your new membership, please call me anytime!
