Hope Cares is the service ministry of Hope Lutheran Church. Its goal is to serve our community while bringing glory to God. "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10

Current ways to serve with Hope Cares:

Hope Lutheran has partnered with South Carolina’s Adopt-A-Highway program, where we have the opportunity to care for our community by cleaning up litter on specific Saturdays.

If you would like to volunteer for an upcoming cleaning date, please contact Staff Minister Andrew @ andrew@hopeofcolumbia.com

Epworth Children’s Home

Hope Lutheran has partnered with Epworth Children’s Home and their foster care program, where we have the privilege to support them in a variety of ways, from hosting events at church, providing Christmas presents to children, as well as helping watch children so that parents can be educated on how to foster.
