Complex world. Thoughtful church.

At University Lutheran Church of Hope you will find:

  • Inspiring WORSHIP
  • Nurturing COMMUNITY
  • Challenging STUDY

Where there’s HOPE,  there’s life.   We bring HOPE to the world through our values:

WORSHIP:  We celebrate our Lutheran heritage through liturgy, challenging preaching and vibrant music reflecting many traditions.

COMMUNITY:  We are an urban spiritual center in a changing university neighborhood, opening our facilities and ministry to groups and individuals outside the congregation.

RELATIONSHIPS:  We are a diverse community empowered by the love of Christ to care for and support one another as we grow in faith  lives.

LEARNING:  We are thoughtful believers dedicated to faith formation and mindful inquiry expanding our understanding of how God is at work in our lives.

SERVICE:  We commit ourselves to Christ’s command to love our neighbor through life-changing service to others.

Come and explore your questions in a caring community.


We have recently set new vision goals to help us better understand and connect with God’s mission for the world, and more specifically our Marcy-Holmes and Dinkytown neighborhood. You can read our three new vision goals here.
