We Have a Sure, Certain, and Living Hope in Jesus Christ!
Hope Lutheran Church is a Bible-believing Lutheran congregation located in the Leander/Cedar Park community just north of Austin, Texas, just across the street from Williamson County Regional Park on County Road 175.
God forgives all our sins through Jesus Christ our Savior; He calms our fear, gives us joy, and brings the certain hope of salvation to us! Our church family invites you to receive this message of comfort and hope with us. In our church, we believe, teach, and confess the Bible’s timeless teachings.
Receiving His forgiveness of our sins is the main thing in our worship; we give out His gifts using a traditional, historic liturgy in today’s language. For those who want to know what we believe and teach, we offer a “God Says, We Believe” class; this is also the path for church membership and receiving holy communion.
We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS) – our national church body. We are in full communion with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).

SEEING JESUS’ MERCY PRODUCES THANKSGIVING Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, You daily care for us and are an ever-present Help in every need: We pray that You awaken our hearts to be truly thankful for all Your benefits.
