Spirit of Hope and Lakeridge Lutheran

Spirit of Hope Lutheran Church adopted an affirmation of welcome early in 2008 and we are thrilled that they've decided to join us as a Reconciling in Christ congregation!

Formed by the merger of Faith Memorial Lutheran Church and Trinity Episcopal Church in 2006, Spirit of Hope sits at the intersection of the Corktown, Core City and Woodbridge neighborhoods of Detroit, Michigan. Along with their intentional work of welcome to all people, especially their anti-racism work, Spirit of Hope hosts an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, food pantry and soup kitchen, preventative work against STIs including HIV/AIDS, and an urban farm. Wow!

We are also proud to introduce Lakeridge Lutheran Church of Seattle, WA.

Lakeridge partners with several local ministries including ARISE: Area of Renton Interfaith Service Endeavor, a veteran's center, emergency feeding program, and co-sponsors Luther's Table. This cafe serves the local community by providing a place to share stories, share your authentic self, and find a place in the community together. We encourage you to check both of them out. Welcome, welcome!
