Welcome to Hope Lutheran Church in Port Coquitlam. We are glad to have you here with us! We are a Lutheran Congregation striving to live out our mission statement: \u201cActive in Love, Growing in Christ\u201d.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

We welcome you here and we invite you to please, take a few minutes to explore the site as we take you on an electronic tour of Hope Lutheran Church. (You are also invited to visit the School<\/a> side of our website.) Our purpose as a group of Christian believers is simple: to be active in Love and growing in Christ<\/strong>, connecting people with Jesus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We are happy to have you here in our virtual congregation, but we would enjoy meeting you face to face as well. You are more than welcome to join us for our Sunday Worship in our sanctuary. Jesus Christ is Lord, and He is the visible face of God’s love for us. He is with us in our daily walk of faith, and we can meet Him especially\u00a0 at His house in the company of other believers, where we receive His Word, His Sacraments, and where we constantly say \u201cthanks\u201d for His love. Come and join us in receiving God’s wonderful gifts in a Service designed to be reverent, objective and relevant.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your visit here. And come visit us some Sunday, <\/a>it will be great to meet you!<\/p>\n
