I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:7

Congregational Update 1/29/2026:

At the annual meeting held on Sunday, January 25, 2026 Hope Lutheran Church Council presented the following motions for the congregation to approve the “For the ONE” vision to build a permanent location for our West Campus worship community and to update the youth spaces at both North and South Campuses. 

Motions to give the authority to: 
1. Secure a construction loan up to the amount pledged by our congregation.
2. Secure long-term financing up to 5 million dollars to cover the gap between pledged commitments and the total project cost.
 
Both motions were approved by the congregation. 
 

 
 
What happens next?


The Building Committee, chaired by Jason Loney, has been working closely with Brian Berg and his team at ZerrBerg to modify our Phase 1 plans to fit the current budget of $23 million dollars. Below are two images. The first was the initial dream for Phase 1 and the second is the updated Phase 1 floor plan with what we know today. Blacked out sections will not be built with the current funding available.

ORIGINAL Phase 1 Floor plan – Not yet funded.


UPDATED Floor plan – To be built with the funding available today!

 
Following updates to the floor plan, we will move into putting the project out for bid to general contractors and subcontractors this spring.

 


Request for Contractors and Subcontractors

Are you a general contractor or subcontractor interested in being included in the list of bidders for the West Campus project? If so please send an email to, Judy Aafedt, Executive Director of Ministry Operations, jaafedt@fargohope.org no later than
March 1, 2026 to be added to our list. 


What does funding the West Campus project look like?

Below is the financial breakdown for the West Campus project budget. With the approved motions, we can fund the $23 million dollar budget from start to finish and move forward with construction! Over the next few months our congregation still has an opportunity!

If you want to see more classrooms built, a video production space properly fit-up, or additional project adds—we can still put your generosity to work! Please consider making a pledge or gift so we can move from where we sit today and expand on our Phase 1 dream.
 
To date, 587 households of 4,947 have committed $15.75 million to the For the ONE vision. We are profoundly grateful for your incredible generosity and there is still a great need to make this vision a reality. 
 
Please prayerfully consider making a pledge or increasing your pledge to the For the ONE vision to help us plan for the future. You may also join our 1,000/1,000 challenge. We are asking that 1,000 households that haven’t yet made a commitment to For the ONE make a $1,000 commitment over the next three years. Which means that for less than $28/month, or one coffee a week, you can help make the For the ONE vision a reality! 
 

With additional support we will be able to break ground this summer with a completion goal of 2 years. Thank you for your prayerful consideration of a gift to the For the ONE generosity initiative.

FOR THE ONE APPAREL
As part of promotion for our For the ONE sermon series and generosity initiative, congregation members will have the opportunity to order one of two different branded t-shirts, crewnecks, or hoodies from the link at the link below. When ordering select the campus that you would like your order sent to.

Ordering takes 7-10 business days and orders will be available for pick-up from the Church Office at each campus during worship times, or regular Office hours. An email will be sent to you from Run Around Events Gear when your order is ready for pickup at the campus you selected. Part of the proceeds from each item ordered will be contributed to the For the ONE generosity initiative.
