Elders<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Board of Elders at Hope Lutheran Church is a dedicated group of men who work with the Pastor giving support to the spiritual and pastoral care of our congregation. Guided by the biblical principles outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1-13, we strive to be Christlike in our faith life and service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In partnership with our Pastor, we dedicate ourselves to study, prayer, and meaningful discussions. We pray for our congregation and community, and seek ways to provide encouragement and care. This work is carried out in cooperation with our Pastor and we support him in study, prayer and discussion.\u00a0 We seek God\u2019s guidance to see where we can be of service in their need, as well as we try to help resolve issues that can arise in the life of the congregation.<\/p>\n
