What visitors say
I have been going to this church for almost five years. We were looking for an affirming church. Even though this church is an Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America church it is far from affirming or progressive. During my time here they have never held a same sex marriage ceremony or celebrated Pride Week. You definitely won’t see a rainbow flag or poster either inside or out. The pastor, Dan Cole, is progressive, but he is only an interim pastor and has received quite a bit of resistance to any moves to become more welcoming. I am not saying Hope is a bad church. It is certainly more ambivalent than most churches in the Temecula Valley, but ambivalence is not the same as welcoming, is it? If you decide to attend Hope just know what you are getting into. This is a don’t ask/don’t tell church, with a small intrenched core group of members that is very resistant to any changes that would make it more progressive. Hope Lutheran is a welcoming and friendly congregation. You get what you put into your experience at HLC, and everyone is willing to walk with you along your journey. Pastor Sandy is a great leader of our church that is devoted to her congregation. All are Welcome and are appreciated along with encouraged to grow in there faith. The facility is really beautiful and the church has a preschool and kindergarten. Feel free to join us and worship on Sunday either at 8AM or 10:15AM. We are an RIC church and are welcoming to ALL! Excellent school, and excellent teachers!!! ❤️
