Mission & Beliefs
OUR MISSION is to glorify the God Of Yisra'el and to see His Messiah; Yeshua, and His Torah (instruction) lifted up so that both Jew and Gentile who wish to take hold of Adonai's Covenants may be equipped to do so.
We will build our congregation together in love and shalom so that we as a community can move forward to accomplish the task which Adonai has set before us.
Our mission will also be to raise up men to take their rightful leadership positions in their homes, in their congregation, and in their community.

In accordance with the beliefs of the United Messianic Jewish Assembly, our Congregation holds to the following:
The God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya'akov (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) is the one and only God.
We believe in the beginning was the Word (Memra) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. We believe that this Word was manifested in the form of Messiah. (John 1:1) We believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised and prophesied Messiah who came to redeem mankind, and is the Son in whom the Father is well pleased.(Matt. 3:17) He will rule as King over Israel and the nations in the future coming Kingdom of God. We believe that it is His Good News that we are to proclaim.(Mark 16:15)
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture as found in Bereshit (Genesis) through Revelation, and that it alone holds authority in our lives, with the guidance of the Ruach HaKodesh.(2 Tim.3:16)
We believe that the Torah of Adonai has not been abolished, and the observance of it is still the valid expression of a Godly faith (Matt. 5:16-19)...not as a means of Salvation, but as the God-given path of sanctification.
The Torah given to Moshe (Moses) is the same Torah that Messiah Yeshua has taught us to observe. (Matt. 5:16-19).
We will strive to let love and unity overcome, when there is difference in doctrine and practice.
We understand our faith walk as being Messiah centered and "Torah Pursuant". We do not believe that one must keep the Torah,(or be observant of it) to be saved. We do not believe it is obligatory, rather we understand that it must be a choice based on individual conviction.
We believe that the Torah was meant for Israel and all those of the nations who join its commonwealth (Eph.2) and take hold of its covenants (Zech. 8:23).
Any of those from the nations joining themselves to Isra'el's commonwealth will be welcomed with open arms and will be treated as an equal citizen with equal responsibilities and privileges. (Num. 15:15-16)
In accordance with the beliefs of the United Messianic Jewish Assembly, our Congregation does not accept the following:
· Any form of replacement theology
· Dispensational theology
· Two House / Ephraimite theology
· Sacred Name doctrine
· Aviv barley reckoning of the Moedim
· Lunar Sabbath Doctrine
