About Hope Co-Op

We do Christianity differently.

We are a community working together to share the hope we have in Christ with the world.

Just as we believe there is no one mold a person must fit to be a child of God – people of all abilities and of every age, color, gender, and sexual orientation are uniquely created, loved, and called by God – so we believe there should not be only a handful of ways to worship God or pray or grow in faith. Hope Co-op is a community that challenges the notion that worship or learning about God and faith must look a certain way, take place on a certain day, or happen in a certain place. We believe Christianity is more beautifully and more fully lived when it is taken out of the box and new and different expressions of what it means to be Christian are allowed to flourish.

Hope Co-op is for everyone. Whether you are looking for something fresh and unique, you vowed to never step foot in a church again, or you’ve never been a person of faith before, Hope Co-op may be just the place for you. We know that Sioux Falls is not always the safe haven for LGBTQia+ people we would like it to be. Know that we strive to be a safe space, an affirming community, and a place where all people are welcome to be fully involved in the life of the Co-op, from participation to leadership.

We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we do have a lot of questions, and we believe that we can discover more about God and living life in faith together than we ever could alone.
