WHAT TO EXPECT
A Morning at Mount Hope
9:30 a.m.
When worship begins, you can follow along in your printed worship guide or on the screens. Some people sing along with the hymns right away, others prefer to sit back and observe their first few times. Feel free to join in at your comfort level.
We have a staffed nursery for kids with an age-appropriate activity.
10:30 a.m.
After worship, people usually stick around for a few minutes to greet new faces or catch up with friends. You're welcome to enjoy snacks & coffee with us or head out if groups aren't your thing.
We're part of a larger church body, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Together with other churches across the country, we are united in our beliefs and work together to carry out mission work across the globe.
We understand that this faith isn't something we achieve through our own efforts or decisions—it's a precious gift from God that enables us to trust in Christ's perfect sacrifice. Through faith, we receive Christ's righteousness and stand justified before God. This faith isn't dormant but living and active in our daily lives, producing good works not as a path to salvation, but as a grateful response to God's amazing grace.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Teaching God's Word in Truth & Purity
We believe that justification comes through faith alone.
We recognize that God's grace is His unmerited favor toward sinners, demonstrated most perfectly when He sent His Son to die for us while we were still sinners. We cannot contribute to our salvation through good works, religious ceremonies, or moral living. From beginning to end, our salvation is the work of God's grace alone.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
We hold that the Holy Scriptures are clear, sufficient, and authoritative, revealing everything we need to know for salvation. We submit to Scripture's authority over all else. Through the Bible, God speaks directly to our hearts today, guiding us in truth and teaching us His will for our lives.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We confess that salvation is found in no one else—Christ alone lived the perfect life we could never live and died the death we deserved. His substitutionary sacrifice on the cross fully satisfied God's justice. Through Christ alone, we have access to the Father. His resurrection confirms His victory over sin, death, and the devil, guaranteeing our salvation and eternal life.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people."
(1 Timothy 2:5-6)
We believe that salvation is entirely God's gift to us—undeserved and unearned.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the only infallible rule and authority for Christian faith and life.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and humanity.
Mount Hope guides Bend forward in the certain hope of Jesus Christ through faithful teaching and generous service.
At Mount Hope Lutheran Church, we believe God has placed us in Bend to share His promises with as many people as possible, by all means possible. Rooted in God’s Word, we serve our community and proclaim the sure hope found only in God’s love for us through Jesus Christ, “so that others may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
