Who We Are

Who We Are

A congregation rooted in Christ and committed to Lansing.

Mount Hope United Methodist Church is a purpose-driven congregation that welcomes people from many backgrounds, experiences, and seasons of life. We gather to worship God, grow in faith, and serve our neighborhood with humility and consistency.

The shape of our church life

Worshiping community

Prayer, Scripture, preaching, music, and Holy Communion keep Christ at the center of our life together.

Intergenerational church

Children, youth, adults, and older members all have a place in worship, learning, and service.

Neighborhood presence

We want our block, our schools, and our city to experience the love of Christ through practical care.

  • Families can review nursery, children, and youth details on the Children & Youth page.
  • If you are exploring Christianity, Who Is Jesus? is a good first step.
  • If you want personal guidance before Sunday, the church office can help.
