Living Hope Lutheran Church and Child Development Center
Living Hope Lutheran Church
AI Summary
The church operates a full‑time, year‑round on-site Child Development Center as a long-term outreach mission, with its own phone, director, and a curriculum based on Concordia Publishing House's One in Christ enhanced by internal lesson plans. Communion is offered at every Sunday morning service, and the congregation confesses the historic creeds, affirms the Lutheran solas, and teaches that Christ is truly present “in, with, and under” the bread and wine; visitors are asked to speak with Pastor Marcus before receiving Holy Communion. Pastor Marcus Breitbarth (installed in 2019) provides pastoral care to members and non‑members and is generally in the office Monday–Thursday, 10:00 AM–5:00 PM, while the congregation supports midweek Bible studies, seasonal services (Lent, Holy Week, Easter), a Family Chapel with a meal on 2nd and 4th Wednesdays, and active men’s, women’s, and youth groups. Worship videos are posted to YouTube (by Monday 2:00 PM), weather‑related closures and CDC updates are posted on Facebook, and the congregation traces its beginnings to a Southeastern District mission plant with its first worship in April 2000 and its current facility occupied in October 2010.
