Hope Lutheran High School was established in 2003 by an association of Missouri Synod Lutheran Churches. Our mission statement: Hope Lutheran High School seeks to preserve and extend the kingdom of God by glorifying God through vigorously sharing the Gospel and supporting families in providing a Biblically grounded, inclusive, strengthening and developmentally appropriate educational experience in a loving environment.
Hope Lutheran is currently renting classroom space from St. Martin’s Lutheran School at 253 Liberty Street, Winona, MN. It is the intention of the association to secure a larger facility in the near future.
Curriculum set forth for Hope Lutheran High School meets or exceeds District 861 and State of Minnesota requirements. Hope Lutheran seeks to give our students a quality Christ-centered education. The small class size enables the teachers to assure no child is left behind. Our teachers are easily able to monitor each student’s progress closely and work with them on an individual basis.
Hope Lutheran is a growing school, and as such, curriculum, procedures, and sports, activities are constantly being improved and refined to meet the needs of our students. Parental involvement in this process is highly encouraged & recommended.
The Staff and Board of Directors are very excited about Winona’s Lutheran High School. We invite you to join us. We encourage you and your child to be a part of the pioneering history of this Lutheran High School and to extend the Kingdom of God.
WE BELIEVE
That the Bible is the only source of knowledge about God and His forgiveness and is also the way in which He speaks to us today. The Bible was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and so is true and without error.
WE BELIEVE
That God is the Creator of the universe and that He Sustains His creation with His almighty power. He also created our first parents, Adam and Eve, in His own image that they might live in fellowship with Him and be His instruments to care for the creation. This creating event took place in six, twenty-four hour days by the power of God's Word.
WE BELIEVE
That Adam and Eve, whom God created, doubted and rebelled against Him. They sinned and their natures became evil. Now every human being is born with a self-centered nature and a tendency for evil that violates God’s will and desire. Attempts to change human nature or to please God with our own good are doomed to failure. People need forgiveness and new life, and God provides it through His grace.
WE BELIEVE
That God out of pure love gives people forgiveness of sins and thus reconciles them to Himself. He does this even though He is a just God who punishes sin because His own Son, Jesus Christ, took the punishment for all sin for all people upon Himself when He died on the cross of Calvary . God raised him from the dead on Easter and thus demonstrated to the world that the sacrifice of the Lamb of God has been accepted and man’s sin paid for.
WE BELIEVE
That people receive forgiveness through faith. Faith is the hand which accepts God’s free gift. Faith is created by the Holy Spirit through the means of the Gospel message which tells of God’s love demonstrated in Jesus Christ. Infant baptism is the means by which a child is given a new life and received into God’s kingdom.
WE BELIEVE
That the church is the fellowship of all those who have come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. The Lutheran Church gets its name from Martin Luther who “reformed” the church with basic principles of faith alone, grace alone, Scripture alone.
The purpose of the church is to nurture faith through the Word and the Sacrament of the Altar, and to share the love of God through Word and deed with the whole world in order to make other people disciples of Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE
That God has given two Sacraments to build His church...
Baptism is a sacrament in which God by the power of the Holy Spirit creates faith. Baptism is for "all nations," including infants.
Holy Communion—also called the Lord’s Supper—is given to nurture faith. In Holy Communion Jesus Christ truly gives the communicant His body and blood “in, with, and under” the bread and wine.
WE BELIEVE
That the fellowship which God establishes with His believers on earth will continue after this life as believers live with Him in Heaven for all eternity.
