Hopeful Lutheran Church is an historic church built in 1917 in Florence, Kentucky. This is the fourth church structure on the site serving the same Lutheran congregation, founded in January 1806.[2]
A group of 14 families associated with the Hebron Lutheran Church of Germanna, Madison Co. VA, settled in Boone County in 1805. Family names included Hoffman, Rouse, Tanner, Hanse, Carpenter, and Zimmermann. Their descendants are well represented in the current population of Boone County. Hopeful Lutheran Church was the first Lutheran church in the county and its first regular pastor, William Carpenter, moved to the area in 1813.[2]
