Mission of Hope Fellowship:
1) We are here to Provide a First Century Biblical Fellowship for Christians who find it difficult to fit in with other churches or denominations.
2) We are here to restore broken people and families through Biblical counseling and Doctrinal teaching.
3) We are here to guide Bible Believing Evangelical Christian and Messianic communities into "Rapture Readiness" through understanding the Biblical Prophetic Events we see unfolding before our very eyes.
Background:
Hope Fellowship is an intimate, Spirit-filled and led, non-denominational church ministering to the Greater Somerset Area and St. Croix County in Wisconsin.
Our purpose in coming to Somerset, Wisconsin and to the greater St. Croix Area, is to establish a non-denominational first century New Testament Fellowship by faith, through loving acceptance of all looking for a church home, and giving encouragement to those who find us as a church home.
We are sponsors of Family Life Ministries and are also here to restore broken families and people through applicable Biblical Counsel and Doctrine. We have come to strengthen good relationships and to restore broken relationships.
We teach sound Biblical Truth unapologetically, providing a loving Holy Spirit led and empowered fellowship, and teach the life changing principles taught by the Lord Jesus Christ from His Living Word.
(We need believers to join us and help to reach the Greater St. Croix area with the Good News of Jesus Christ from those who believe in the Pentecostal Message and want to use their Spiritual Gifts safely and openly, especially as we see the Rapture quickly approaching in these Last Days)

WE BELIEVE and Vigorously Teach and Preach:
The Written Word is a Living Document from Genesis through Revelation, was Inspired by the Holy Spirit, and declares the Almighty's design and plan for humanity and the universe He Created.
There is only One True Almighty Creator who reveals Himself in three persons: Yahweh the Father, Yeshua the Son, and Ruach Ha'Kodesh, the Holy Spirit (all being members of the Tri-Unity, whose Old Covenant Name is Elohim, and New Covenant Name is Theos).
In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is Yahweh's Beloved Son. Jesus is both completely human and completely divine. His Old Covenant Name is Adonai, because He is Yahweh's Son He is our Sovereign Master. Psalm 110:1 describes the relationship in the original Hebrew.
Humanity was created perfect and completely sinless, but Adam chose to rebel against Elohim, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and willingly sinned. His act of original sin birthed evil into the universe, and his sin introduced death, both physical and spiritual. Because of Adam's rebellion, every human was conceived and hopelessly lost in sin: the sin nature is passed from father to child beginning with Adam. Psalm 51.
Every person can have restored relationship with Elohim, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, by putting his or her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for Salvation. There is salvation and restoration only in Jesus Christ and in no other. Acts 4:12.
Believers are Sealed (as Elohim's Guarantee of Salvation) and Sanctified (set apart for service to our Triune Almighty Creator) by the Holy Spirit at Salvation. Our Sanctification is not only a declaration that each believer is holy before Elohim, but is also a lifelong process for believers continually to draw close to Messiah, and become more like Him. Ephesians 1:12-14.
We practice the two ordinances commanded to us by the Lord Jesus Christ from Matthew 28:16-20 in His Great Commission:
Water Baptism by full Immersion in water as a testimony of the believer putting his or her trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and receiving His gift of salvation through confession and repentance of sin. We baptize each believer in the Name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Communion of the Lord's Supper is practiced to remember our Lord Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection in our behalf for salvation.
Luke 22:14-20 and 1st Corinthians 11:23-26.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a Distinct work of our Creator's Grace that follows Salvation as Promised by the Lord Jesus Christ in John 14. From the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to lead others to Messiah through supernatural talents and abilities provided to them from each member of the Triune Almighty One.
The Father empowers believers with Administration gifts, found in Romans 12:6-8; The Son anoints those of us in the 5-fold ministry Equipping Gifts, found in Ephesians 4:8-11; and finally, the Holy Spirit assigns each believer with Sign Gifts found in 1st Corinthians 14:1-5.
The Lord Jesus Christ personally appointed and ordained a plurality of leadership containing the 5-Fold Ministries of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to serve Him, by outfitting and equipping His Church for Kingdom Service. Ephesians 4:8-11.
Elohim's Written Word teaches that those called and placed into Messiah's plurality of leadership must reach those lost in sin, instruct believers in applicable doctrines and theology, equip Messiah's Body in faith and good works in service to Him, lead each member of the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ in fellowship with other believers regularly, and lead each member of the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ in worship with other believers in His Church regularly. Hebrews 10:23-25.
Healing of the Sick is as applicable for Christians today as it was in Messiah's early church of the first century and is provided for us through the Lord Jesus Christ's atonement, which was His sacrificial death by shedding His Precious Blood on the Calvary's Cross for our sins.
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is Speaking in Tongues, as experienced by believers and Messiah's Apostles on the Day of Pentecost, also seen throughout Acts, and taught by Paul in his Circular Letters to the Churches in the first century. Acts 1-2; Acts 10:44-46; and Acts 19:1-6.
The Church of Messiah's primary Mission is to reach all who are lost in sin. His Church consists of those who have put their trust in Messiah's sacrificial death, burial and resurrection, and received His salvation from sin and its consequence of eternal death and separation from our Creator for Eternity in Lake of fires. Matthew 28:16-20 and Mark 16:15-18.
We believe in the imminent Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Lord Jesus Christ's Church, which will take place 7 years prior His Physical Return to Earth as King over all kings, and Lord of lords at the end of The Great Tribulation Period, during which the false messiah will wreck havoc. We're told in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 that the "man of sin" (which is the false messiah, known as the antichrist) can't be revealed until the "one" (the church) holding him back is removed.
At the Rapture of Messiah's Church, all believers of all past times who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and the "Rapture Ready" believers, which are alive and remain at that time of the Primary Rapture Event, will be caught up or yanked out of this dimension of time and space, (the Greek word, harpadzo is translated as being yanked or wrenched out of, and was translated to the Latin word Repiere, which is translated as "Rapture" in the English, and means to move from one place into another for safety) and join with believers who've gone on before us in death and be with them and the Lord Jesus Christ forever. (Hope Fellowship believes in 3 Raptures of the End Times: the Primary Rapture of those worthy to escape the wrath to come; the second being the resurrected witnesses, the Old Covenant prophets Enoch and Elijah, who will be "raptured" into Heaven after their work for Messiah during the Tribulation Period; and, and the Final Harvest of the remnant believers who have survived the Tribulation Period and the Time of Jacob's Trouble). ALL believers must attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb before He returns, in order to be prepared for marriage as Messiah's Spotless Bride. Revelation 19:1-9.
The Millennial Reign of King Yeshua will begin when He returns with His saints at the end of the Great Tribulation Period: at that time, many in the nation of Israel will recognize Yeshua as their Messiah, the Savior who died for them and for all humanity, and put their faith in Him alone for salvation and deliverance. Jude 14-15; Revelation 19:11-16; and, Revelation 20:1-5.
The Final Judgment of the White Throne Judgement of Messiah Will Take Place at the end of Messiah's Millennial Reign for those who have rejected Him as their Savior. They will be judged for their sin and be dispatched to eternal punishment in a Eternal Lakes of fire and be separated from the Almighty, Elohim, in their second death forever. Revelation 20: 11-15.
At the culmination of the Millennial Reign of Messiah, when all human history comes to an end, all Believers, Jewish and Non-Jewish alike, will receive their Heavenly, Eternal, and Immortal, Resurrection Bodies and be introduced to and placed into the Almighty's New Heavens and Earth. We will join Him and reign at His Right Hand with Him as governors in His Universe, and will live and dwell with Him forever. Revelation 21-22.
"And so shall we forever be with the Lord!" 1st Thessalonians 4:17.
