House Groups are medium-sized groups of high school students and adult leaders that meet in Lutheran Church of Hope attendees homes throughout the community. House Groups meet from 6:30-8:00 pm on Sunday nights following the Ignition Worship Gathering. During House Group students have the opportunity to eat dinner and enjoy fellowship, as well as share in small group discussion.

The House Group a student joins is based primarily on the school the student attends or the community in which he or she feels most connected. For students who choose to join a House Group it is up to each family to determine how their student is transported to House Group each week. Please see our About page for more information regarding transportation. For driving directions please visit our individual House Group web pages: 

We are asking every family to provide and serve a meal for their child’s House Group. While every House Group location varies in size, through partnering with others, families can anticipate preparing a meal for 35 students and leaders. If you are in need of inspiration for a main dish, check our House Group Meal Ideas.

We are currently looking for individuals to serve as Food/Meal Coordinators for the Johnston-Urbandale House Group. If you are interested in serving in this way please contact Andy Hermanson at andy.hermanson@hopewdm.org.
