And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.\" &nbsp;Matthew 28:19-20\n\n<strong>Unite in worship<\/strong>\n\nAnd let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. &nbsp;Hebrews 10:24-25\n\n<strong>Enjoy fellowship with one another<\/strong>\n\nAnd they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. &nbsp;Acts 2:42\n\n<strong>Witness to all people<\/strong>\n\nBut you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. &nbsp;Acts 1:8\n\n<strong>Grow in the Word<\/strong>\n\nAnd he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. &nbsp;Ephesians 4:11-14\n\n<strong>Serve the needs of all people in Christian love<\/strong>\n\nSo then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. &nbsp;Galatians 6:10\n\n<strong>We administer the Office of the Keys as His Church<\/strong>\n\nJesus said to them again, \"Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.\" &nbsp;And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, \"Receive the Holy Spirit. &nbsp;If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.\" &nbsp;John 20: 21-23\n\n<strong>And maintain decency and order in the Church.<\/strong>\n\nBut all things should be done decently and in order. &nbsp;Corinthians 14:40","_et_gb_content_width":"1920","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-68","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Our Mission &amp; Values - Hope Lutheran Church, LCMS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hopelutheran.org\/church\/about\/our-mission-values\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Our Mission &amp; Values - Hope Lutheran Church, LCMS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Mission Abiding in Christ as a family of believers, we are transformed by God\u2019s grace to be a shining beacon of HOPE to one another, our school, our community, and the world.
