Just as we need food to nourish our bodies, we need food for our souls. God has given us his Word, which he tells us is living water. We gather together around this living water every Sunday morning at 9:00. During this hour you and your children will hear a message of real hope for real life - a message from God's lips to your heart, so that you may always be sure of his forgiveness and love. You will have the opportunity to hear and participate in music with a meaningful message, prayer, and thanksgiving.

Sunday Mornings
After worship, we gather together for fellowship with visitors and friends. At 10:15, Bible Study begins. Children learn the precious truths of God's Word in a meaningful way through our Growing in Christ curriculum. Eight teachers are dedicated to sharing Jesus with the youth that join us. Our Teen Bible Study is currently studying Christian decision making. Adults will begin the Fall semester by looking at the Bible's teaching of Christian fellowship. Visitors are always welcome to join in as we grow together in God's Word.

Women's Bible Study
“God's Word, My Life” is a review of Luther's small and large Catechism. Currently we are reviewing the Apostle's Creed. Come and see the depth and strength of this confession of faith used by Christians for centuries. God commands us to always be prepared to give the reason for the hope we have (1 Peter 3:15). The Apostle's Creed helps us organize all that we believe about our Triune God into a format that we can take with us wherever we go.

Our Women's Bible Study normally meets every 3rd Thursday and Saturday of the month at 9:00 AM.

Men's Bible Study
“On Being a Christian.”

We will be reading the powerful, straight forward, and profound confession of faith of Dr. Henry Hamann, a well-known author and teacher in the Lutheran Church in Australia. He was a staunch Christian and confessor of the faith throughout his life and ministry. Gain a whole new perspective on being a Lutheran Christian.

Men's Bible Study meets every 2nd Saturday of the month at 9:00 AM

Bible 101
This class is for anyone who is interested in a basic overview of God's Word or in membership at Hope. No previous Bible knowledge is needed! Your questions are welcome! Pastor Schutz is also willing to teach this class to any couple or individual who wants to study the Bible in their home.

Breakfast in Belle
Man: From Glory to Ashes and Back

Astronomers estimate that there are over one hundred billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy alone. One star, named Betelgeuse, has a diameter several hundred times bigger than our sun. Earth is so small compared to the great masses of the universe. All of humanity that inhabits Earth is even smaller yet.

King David asked, “What is man that you are mindful of him“ (Psalm 8:4)? Come and find out! Who are we that God should pay attention to us and even sacrifice his only Son on a cross to take away our sins? What is man? Is he God himself? Is he a highly developed animal? What is our origin and worth, our capabilities and destiny? Come to know yourself and your relationship with God better than ever.

Join us for a hearty breakfast and Bible Study at the home of Stan Kruse in Belle Fourche. Breakfast Bible Study begins at 8:00 AM on every 1st Saturday of each month.

Our pastor is not a psychologist, but he does have training as a counselor who uses the Bible. Our pastor welcomes the opportunity to provide a marriage enrichment course to any couple thinking about or planning to get married. If you are in the hospital or going through any trial in your life, Pastor Schutz also welcomes the opportunity to visit you and provide comfort and direction from God's Word. Please feel welcome to contact Pastor Schutz if there is anything he can do for you.

We are always looking for more ways to be involved. We recently participated in the 9th Annual Martin Luther King Chili Supper benefiting the Spearfish Food Pantry.

Hope is a congregation that belongs to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a national church body that supports worldwide mission and relief work. We also walk together as a synod to train missionaries, pastors, teachers, and staff ministers, as well as to publish biblical materials in many different languages. Currently the WELS supports mission work in 30 countries and has churches in all 50 states. It has been a great blessing to be a part of a denomination that has a passion for reaching more and more people with the truth of God's Word. Joining together we can reach out in ways that we could never do on our own as individuals. To find out more about our church body, follow the link to the WELS website.
