We are in the process of calling a pastor. Pastor Paul Terhune recently retired after decades of faithful service.
The Pastor is the spiritual leader of Hope Lutheran Church. He frequently conducts weekly chapel services, is a resource to teachers and students, and works closely with the principal to ensure that the community of Hope is sharing the Gospel.
