HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH
HUDSON, FLORIDA
LUTHERAN CHURCH-MISSOURI SYNOD
We are a Stephen Ministry Congregation
WELCOME TO HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH
Your Place to Connect With God
At Hope Lutheran Church, we know that inspiration opens hearts. An open heart is an open mind and an open mind is one that can practice tolerance, experience gratitude and feel the glory of God. It is our belief that God is present in all of us, but His active presence can only be felt through faith in Him. We are dedicated to the service of God and all his people, and our goal is to inspire you through the holiness of our dwelling and our services. We invite you to become a part of our growing congregation.
THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Embracing & Extending the Teachings of Our Lord
We see our church not simply as a house of worship with walls, a roof and open doors. Rather, we believe that the church is actually the members and believers that come together to practice God’s word, celebrate His love and extend His gifts.
Through the Bible, service, worship and missions, we bring God closer to our hearts and closer to the hearts of those around us. From traditional sermons to attending our faith-based community initiatives or events — everything we do is based off of our commitment to spread the teachings of our Lord.
Our Mission Statement:
"Where family and friends are nurtured, equipped and encouraged to share the love of Jesus Christ within our community in word and deed."
OUR COMMUNITY
Who We Are
Hope Lutheran Church is a church devoted to developing a holy consciousness. We believe that worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do, whether that be nourishing our bodies with food, chatting with friends, playing music, or enjoying nature. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures, life’s only guidebook. Whatever your age, gender or race, there is a special place for you at our Church. We offer members a chance to become part of something greater, to grow their love for God and for one another in our beautiful community. Get in touch today or swing by for a visit.
OUR GOAL
Hope Lutheran Church has the honor of connecting people to God, Jesus Christ, and to one another in a loving and caring setting. It is our mission to empower our community to become disciples of God by learning the gospels and practicing His word.
The word “church” originates from the word “gathering” or “to gather”. This is why we so strongly cling to the notion that the church is not a building or a structure, but rather, the church is actually the believers themselves. We aim to maintain and foster a comfortable environment for our congregation to gather, build relationships, demonstrate love and share their knowledge. We believe that the Lord Almighty rewards those who take time out of each day to show their gratitude through prayer and spirituality.

Meet our
Interim Pastor
Hope Lutheran is a Stephen Ministry Congregation.
What is Stephen's Ministry?
Our congregation's Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
Our Pastor will always be on the front line of care, especially during times of crisis. But there are always many more needs for ongoing, one-to-one care than any pastor can effectively meet by themselves.
Stephen Ministry provides a biblical solution--equipping God's people for ministry. Gifted lay people are trained to support and extend the care that a pastor continues to provide.
Stephen Ministers reach out with God's love to people who are hurting--both congregation members and nonmembers alike.
If you or someone you know could benefit from the care of a Stephen Minister...Please contact the church office: 727.863.6446 or
Stephen Leader, Steve Denney: 727.808.9852

"Therefore encourage one another and build up each other."
~1 Thessalonians 5:11~
"Love one another--as I have loved you."
~John 13:34~
The Rev. Robert C. Steinke is privileged to serve as an intentional interim at Hope Lutheran Church, Hudson FL. He was called/invited to serve by the Call Committee that has been formed upon the retirement of the Rev. Dr. T. Kent Fuqua.
The Lutheran Church believes that a congregation should always have a man in the pastoral office, so the office is never actually vacant. One of the options is to call an intentional interim to help the congregation move ahead in its ministry by using the time to review where it has been in the past, take stock of what is happening right now, and get ready to move ahead with a new full-time pastor.
Pastor Steinke was installed as interim at the Saturday evening Music and Majesty service on February 20, 2021. He is regularly be in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday each week and regularly lead worship on Saturday and Sunday. Since he will be acting as the pastor of Hope Congregation, he is always on-call though spending limited time on site. 727-808-9398; Email: revsteinke@gmail.com
