About Us

Hope Lutheran was founded in 2006 to serve the people of Henry county in one of the nations fastest growing areas. In 2008, Hope was blessed to dedicate a preschool and church facility at a great location between Hampton and McDonough on Hwy 20. We are a growing congregation that centers all we do on God’s inspired Word. Our worship and preaching strive to be relevant and all our education opportunities bring the truth of sin and forgiveness in Jesus to all ages. Outreach is our heartbeat as we share the message of Jesus with our friends, our neighbors and the community.

The ministry of Hope is reaching beyond just Henry County. Through our partnership with our national church body, we not only are helped in our mission start here in Georgia, but we are active in spreading God’s Word in mission support throughout the world.

Hope Lutheran is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (or WELS). The WELS is a conservative Lutheran Church body (the third largest Lutheran church body nationally).
