I've been here four times now, so I believe I have enough to pull from to write a good review. It doesn't feel like your "average" church. It will feel different than what you expect from a church. There's lots of younger, casually-dressed, coffee-holding people mingling around the sanctuary before the service. The stage has a wide variety of instruments and the space has a no-nonsense aesthetic, with the original, old-school features intact from the church who resided in the space before Hope. You'll quickly learn that the church is about the people. You'll likely be approached by somebody else, and it's not that they spotted a newcomer; chances are, they are probably also a newcomer who wants to meet someone. You're definitely not going to be alone as a first-timer, and the people who start off the service are going to be accommodating to that. The worship band isn't your old Lutheran church's white-haired, calm and quiet kind of band. Be prepared for a rock concert-like experience. You'll see dreads and pink hair. The level of musicianship is leagues above anything you've heard in a church. Once worship wraps up, the pastor counterpart of Jay Leno will walk up, with witty one-liners that will make you feel comfortable, if the band or nice people around you already haven't. Steve Treichler is very easy to listen to. Not only does he have his own brand of humor, but he's a great teacher who will spend time going slowly and methodically through the passage at hand for the week. For example, he breaks down the Greek words that the New Testament is written in, he'll provide cross-references to other books in the Bible, he'll call upon the ideas of old theologians, and he infuses his own experiences and stories. It's never dense; it's always accessible and interesting to the layperson. I guarantee you will learn something about God and the Gospel. The Gospel is preached here every Sunday. Getting involved in the community and communicating hope in Christ to the watching peoples in the Twin Cities are of utmost importance for this church. This review doesn't do justice; you need to be there to experience Hope. I highly recommend it.

But if possible come for the 10:30 High Mass, because the music is reverent and beautiful, and it is a great introduction to the fullness of the old Roman rite. (It does run longer than a typical OF Mass, so plan for 75 - 90 minutes, depending on what Sunday you choose.) Our current priests are both excellent preachers and the homilies tend to stick closely to the readings, which you can find in English in the gray missal/hymnals in the pews. On your way in, look at the front of the bulletin to find out what Sunday it is. The gray missals have each Sunday's scriptures arranged by Sunday towards the front of the book, with the order of Mass in the center of it. We were looking for a warm parish community, and have definitely found it here, as well as reverence and seriousness about the faith. Unfortunately we have lost our parish center and so have nowhere to gather for fellowship after, but if you can brave the cold/heat, please stay after Mass out front and introduce yourself! We found people to be open (for Minnesotans!!) and friendly.

I love that he is completely true to himself and transparent. I also appreciate their desire for a more multicultural church and that they don't shy away from talking about current cultural issues. The worship is perfect in my mind; not too showy or flashy as they usually just have a guitar or two, keys, drums and a bass. It's simple yet well done and I find it to be very enjoyable. I would recommend this church to anyone looking for a chill no pressure or expectations church experience.
