Men of Hope Community Church
Minneapolis, MN Connect – Our goal is to engage as many men in and around our community as possible.

Mission Statement: Men of Hope exists to connect the men of our community with one another, to help them comprehend what it means to be a man after God’s heart, and to challenge them to bring glory to God in all areas of their life. This means planning big events that will appeal to a large range of individuals, and planning smaller activities that will allow men with common interests and passions

to bond with one another. Our focus is to ensure that all men feel welcome at any of these Men of Hope events. Comprehend – During Boot Camp, Intensives, Culture Conversations, and many other MOH events, we will challenge the men of our community to examine the Biblical definition of what it means to live as a godly man. We believe that a Godly man is one who takes up his cross daily in an effort to follow Jesus Christ. We also believe that Godly men are defined by the Gospel and therefore marked by the following characteristics:

Above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money, able to manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, has a good reputation with outsiders, worthy of respect, sincere, does not pursue dishonest gain, keeps hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience, hospitable, loves what is good, self-controlled, upright, holy, disciplined, encourage others by sound doctrine and refutes those who oppose it. – (Titus 1:6-9 & 1 Timothy 3:2-10)
Important Note: These characteristics do not define us. Jesus – and his work on the cross – defines us. These characteristics are a byproduct of the Holy Spirit’s work as He reshapes us in the image of Christ. We also do not pretend that any of us ever completely or perfectly display all of these characteristics; our common understanding is that through the strength of Christ, we can edge ever closer to this goal. Challenge – Through large/small events, intensives, retreats, and coaching relationships, we endeavor to challenge the men at Hope to live as Godly men – pushing the men of our community to be a continual blessing to those around them. Gospel and community ought to lead to transformed lives and good works. The following passages give a clearer picture of how we challenge one another to live:

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 1:13
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. – Hebrews 12:1-3
Summary:
Men of Hope is not a replacement for small groups or for corporate worship on Sundays, and it is much more than just a social network for guys. This community of believers strives to honor God in all we do and bring glory to His kingdom. Along our journey we hope to bridge together men from all walks of life as we grow in our understanding of the Gospel and relentlessly encourage each other to pursue Christ.

A heads-up to those of you who were planning to join us tomorrow night for our evangelism training with Hiland Overgaard: we’re rescheduling to next Thursday (10/8), when the weather looks to be 20 degrees warmer and the chance of rain looks to be almost zero.

Sharing our faith with people in our lives can be tricky — especially in these unsettled times. Yet as Christians, we are called to be able to give a reason for the hope we have within us. Come join us next Thursday (Oct. 8) from 7-9 pm to learn more about how to do that effectively.

We’ll spend the evening hearing from Hiland Overgaard, who attends Hiawatha Church and works as an evangelist in the Twin Cities, about some of the things he’s seen God doing in our city over the past few months, and learn some practical tips for initiating spiritual conversations with people in our lives.

The link to RSVP for the event is below. Bring a lawn chair and a beverage, and come ready to sit around a bonfire for an awesome night of training!

It’s been a trying year around the world, but even more so in Minneapolis. It can be hard to see how God is moving when our norms are upended, or when they let us down. But God is still moving in the Twin Cities, and we’re called to join Him on mission.

If you’re curious to hear more about some ways to do that, we’d like to invite you to a Men of Hope evangelism training with Hiland Overgaard, who attends Hiawatha Church and works as an evangelist in the Twin Cities. We’ll hear from Hiland about some of the things he’s seen God doing this summer, and talk about some ways we can share our faith more effectively.

We’ll try to do this in person, if possible, so we’ll plan to gather outdoors sometime in the next couple weeks. If you’re interested, fill out this Doodle poll and let us know which ones of these times work with your schedule. Hope to see you there!

We’ll get a small group of men together in person to hear from Hiland — who attends Hiawatha Church and works as an evangelist in the Twin Cities — about some of the ways he’s seen God working during a summer of unrest. We’ll also talk about some ways we can all become bolder and more effe...

Our Story

Vision statement: Men of Hope is an uncommon brotherhood centered on lasting growth and becoming men who advance the gospel to make disciples. No matter the background, we share and invest our lives with great care, encouraging one another as we collectively work for the good of the Twin Cities.

Missional purpose: Developing men who advance the gospel together and flourish in faith together

Core Tenets

Evangelism - Men trained in ongoing witness and outreach by sharing the good news & loving others.

Discipleship - Men taught to follow Jesus for a lifetime, holistically considering how to grow into his image.

Community - Men rooted in the body of Christ, having mutually encouraging life-giving relationships.

We believe in the importance of building our foundation on Jesus, the Gospel, and Scripture.

Here is a summary of how we aim to do this, by answering the following questions:

Who is Jesus to Men of Hope?

Jesus is our kinsman redeemer (Ruth 3:9), our brother who delivered us by acting on behalf of all people and canceling our collective debt at the cross.

He is both the foundation of (1 Corinthians 3:11) and the righteous King (Jeremiah 23:5) over our livelihood. He has secured our future by his victory over sin and death, and even now he lives to intercede on our behalf with God (Hebrews 7:25).

He shows us in the present how we should steward our time (Luke 5:16), relationships (Matthew 9:9-13), major decisions (Luke 6:12) and positions of influence (Luke 14:8-9).

What hope does the Gospel provide to Men of Hope?

For Men of Hope, the Gospel declares Christ’s finished work through his death and resurrection, and that Christ is able to redeem all things because of it. Since we are created for good works, but not justified by them (Ephesians 2:2-10), we can rest in our secure relationship with God.

Additionally, Christ has brought down the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14), creating fertile ground for rich relationships between seemingly disparate groups of people, no matter their race, socioeconomic background, or individual sin struggles. The group of the Lord’s redeemed spans all of these lines and comes together in thankfulness for His steadfast love (Psalm 107).

How does Scripture lead Men of Hope?

Scripture is both our priceless source of wisdom (Proverbs 4:7) and also our root of humility (Micah 6:8). Since it declares all of us have turned away from God (Isaiah 53:6), we all are on the same level in terms of our need for grace. We shouldn’t consider ourselves as better than others and should seek to serve one another instead of competing for status (Philippians 2:3-4).

We welcome all men into our community, encourage one another as brothers and stir one another up toward love and good works (Hebrews 10:24). Rather than comparing or attempting to prove ourselves, we acknowledge our flaws, seek advice from those who can help us overcome our struggles and look to God’s word for wisdom together.
