Our New Building

Designed to fit the rural farm feel of our community, our new building is primed to be a welcoming place where we engage our community for years to come. Our goal is to build a practical tool to reach and disciple everyday people for Christ. Every inch of this building has been designed with fellowship, functionality, and our mission in mind.

Our Dream

Over the years, God has worked through Hope Fellowship to transform many lives in our community. What used to be a little church with lots of building space has turned into a big church with little building space. While the church is people not a building, our building is a tool which helps transform people into disciples of Jesus. Without a bigger tool our ability to reach more people and disciple them effectively will be greatly diminished. That’s why over a decade ago we began to pursue a new facility.



We have no doubt this big dream is a God dream. It perfectly aligns with His heart to see as many people as possible transformed through a personal relationship with Jesus. We believe as long as there is one person in our community who doesn’t know Jesus, our church needs to be growing. On our RT 544 property dirt has moved, land development is complete, and we are coming down the home stretch. That’s why we are launching one last giving campaign called RISE UP & BUILD. It’s design is to help us get the building built. All funds in this campaign will go towards that goal. It’s our way of continuing to put feet to our faith. Partnering with God to see this projected completed for His glory. With God’s help let us together RISE UP & BUILD

Our New Location

Our new property is located near the intersection of RT 213 and RT 544 in northern Queen Anne’s County, MD. A little over 4 miles from our current church building, this new location is missionally situated, for maximum visibility and impact.

Our Next Step

The RISE UP & BUILD Giving Campaign is designed to help complete PHASE FOUR. All other phases have been paid for in full.


Since we began this pursuit over a decade ago, we have watched God work in amazing ways. Not only has He opened the door for us to purchase an amazing piece of property on a main route, but He has helped us developed the land and we are now positioned to build. God has certainly honored our faith.


We have 2026 as a tentative target date to begin construction. Our desire is to make a big impact for God’s glory in our community for generations to come. We estimate needing to raise between 3 to 4 million to make this dream a reality.


We’re inviting everyone who calls Hope Fellowship home to prayerfully consider making a giving commitment for the next three years—above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings. Your commitment should reflect what you feel God is leading you to give.
