We are Bible Centered, Spirit Empowered, Family Oriented, Kingdom Focused, and Mission Motivated.
Celebrate and study God’s word as you to embrace the Jewish heritage of our faith. Our Messiah is Jewish and the early believers were Jewish. Be empowered as we study the entire Bible from a 1st Century perspective in context and culture.
We teach the Bible from cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation, teaching the redemption made possible through our Messiah Yeshua. We truly believe we need to disciple to make new disciple who go out and make new disciples. Scroll down for our address.
Our services and Bible studies are focused on the one true God of Israel and His Messiah Yeshua. We seek to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. We meet every Saturday. Doors open at 8:30am. Scroll down for directions.
Come as you are. We encourage everyone to dress modestly and comfortably, whether that’s casual or dressed up. The morning Bible study is 45 minutes – and, yes, there is a very light breakfast (nosh) available. The service is about 90 minutes long, then we take an hour for lunch and fellowship. The discussion about the morning message after lunch lasts 90 minutes and it is highly interactive – join in or just listen.
Break the routine and live out your faith by walking in an ever-closer relationship to our Messiah Yeshua. Build relationships with others who want to grow and worship God in a deeper way, living out the richness found in knowing Him. We seek to lead people to become radiant disciples of Yeshua Messiah by worshipping and praying daily, growing in discipleship, and loving our community,
If you can’t make it to both the service and study time, just come to one! There is much more we would like to share with you, so please join us in worship
We follow the Biblical calendar of Feasts and Festivals because they lay out God’s plan of redemption year after year. We also follow Jewish lifecycle events.

No, everyone is welcome! We are a joyful mix of people – Jewish Believers and non-Jewish Believers! We come from a variety of backgrounds.
The service begins at 10am and ends at 11:30am. It is a mix of song, Psalm, prayer, blessings and Scripture reading. The message is usually, but not always based on the weekly readings. The weekly Scripture passages are posted on our Facebook page midday Tuesday.
Dress modestly. We have lunch after the morning service. It is potluck, we usually have too much food, so if you are a first-time visitor you do not have to bring anything. If you want to bring food, we don’t want to offend anybody so please do not bring a dish of mixed meat and cheese (you can bring them separately, however), fish without scales, shellfish, shrimp or pork products (ham, bacon).
Yes! Services are mainly in English with just a little Hebrew.
Yes! Children can stay in the service for the message or go to our children’s program. We also have a nursery for very young children.
Yes. We disciple to make disciples (the “Great Commission”). Sharing our faith in Yeshua requires us to teach and build up Believers, too.
We are Torah pursuant; only Yeshua kept Torah perfectly. We do our best. Everyone is growing in their faith and walk with God. We certainly are not legalists and we expect everyone to be “working out their salvation,” discovering what their walk with God looks like – but always striving to be increasingly obedient to Him.
Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people from all walks of life, who believe Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew) is the promised Jewish Messiah and Savior of Israel and the world. Messianic Jews have not stopped being Jewish and continue to strongly Jewish in identity, lifestyle and belief. Yeshua is the fulfillment of Biblical Judaism. We observe the Sabbath (Shabbat) and the Biblical feasts (Leviticus 23) which were given to Israel and fulfilled in Yeshua. Salvation is, as it always has been, by faith and not by works or righteous acts.
Messianic Judasim began almost 2,000 years ago when the first 3,000 Believers came to faith on Pentecost/ Shavuot. Cornelius was the 1st gentile to come to faith in Yeshua in 39AD.
We have a Bible study Saturday afternoon from 12:30pm to about 2pm. We have another Bible study Tuesday evenings. Other studies online and in person are in the planning stage.
