New Hope Lutheran Church was founded in 1984. We are a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States. We are also part of the Delaware - Maryland Synod, a group of ELCA congregations that work together to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with their communities, welcoming all to share in the fellowship of God's people. To learn more about what we believe as Lutherans, visit this page at the ELCA web site.
