Our Mission: |
||||||
Foundational Focus Worship We worship to draw closer to our Creator and give Him all that we have. Worship is between the one who worships and the One who is being worshipped. It is not a show. It is personal, yet is also corporate. Our desire is to be a body of believers who worship Yahweh in Spirit and in Truth. Family A foundational belief of this fellowship is that men and women have distinct and equally important roles in the family and community of believers. Men are to walk in their role as the priests of their homes serving, protecting, providing, and caring for their family showing honor to their wives at all times. Women should strive to emulate the life pattern outlined in Titus 2 and Proverbs 31. We place great value on the role of women in the Body of Messiah. We encourgae women find joy in their enterprises and to fully persue their divine callings. We also believe that each family is its own entity and, while part of the congregation, each family has a leader who is accountable to Yahweh for how they live out their faith. We respect Biblical headship within the home and encourage fathers to lead their families and parents to teach their children the commandments of God. Israel Community Our sense of the larger community of Believers continues to grow as well. Through our association with the Messianic Israel Alliance we are in contact with like-minded people throughout the world. We strive to encourage them as much as they continue to encourage us. The Messianic Israel Alliance provides us with accountability and a sense of being part of the greater community of faith in the body of Messiah. Fundamentals of Our Faith We believe in the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament in their original, inspired text. They are the inspired and inerrant Word of Yahweh Almighty. They alone are the divine and final authority in determining all doctrinal truths (2 Tim. 3:16). We believe that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah, God made manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). He was born of a virgin (Luke 1:34) and lived a sinless life. He died for us as an atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10), was resurrected from the dead (1 Cor. 15:4), and has ascended to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19). Yeshua will return physically as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to reign over the earth (Zech. 14, Acts 1:9-11, and Rev. 19:11-16). We believe that all have sinned and need the salvation, which is provided only through Yeshua and by the grace of Yahweh (Ps. 14:1-3, Rom. 3:23). We believe that Holy Spirit dwells all believers to lead, guide, teach, comfort, and empower us to live a righteous life (Jn. 14:26, 2 Tim. 1:7, 1 Cor. 14:26). We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and unsaved. The redeemed to everlasting joy in the presence of Yahweh, and the lost to eternal damnation and separation from Yahweh (John 5:28-29 and Rev. 20:11-15). We believe the Torah of Yahweh is the instruction of a loving and gracious Father to His children. It is the perfect law that gives us liberty (Ps. 119:44-45, James 2:25-26). The commandments of Yahweh will not disappear until heaven and earth disappear (Matt. 5:17-20). We delight in the instruction of Yahweh (Ps. 1:2). The Torah was not given for salvation. It is the loving instruction of how a redeemed people should live. Yeshua kept His Father’s commandments and lived in the Father's love. We are instructed to walk as Yeshua walked (1 John 2:3-6). We are to obey Yahweh’s commandments and to hold to the testimony of Yeshua (Rev. 12:17). |
