Vision & Mission:
Healing the relationship between disciples of Jesus and the Jewish people by connecting Christians to the land, people, and Scriptures of Israel.
Key Values:
● The Jewishness of Jesus
Jesus is Jewish and so Christians who follow Him should seek to understand and love the Jewish people as He did.
● Unconditional Love for the Jewish People
God will always love the Jewish people on account of His promises to their father Abraham (Genesis 12:3; Romans 11:2). Therefore we love the Jewish people without conditions.
● Zionism
God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people forever (Gen 13:15) and promised to restore them back to the land in the last days (Ezekiel 37:21, Jeremiah 32:41). Therefore we stand with the Jewish state of Israel.
● The Torah
We love God’s Law (Ps 119:97) as foundational to His relationship with the Jewish people through which He revealed Himself to all nations (Deut 4:5-8).
● Scripture and Tradition
We look to the Scriptures as God’s infallible and life-giving words to us (2 Tim 3:16-17). We also value tradition as an inheritance of wisdom from our forefathers (Prov 1:8). We show respect for both Jewish and Christian tradition and seek commonality whenever possible.
● Judeo-Christian Morality
We uphold traditional Judeo-Christian morality rooted in the Bible regarding gender roles, sexuality, and the family. We believe God created men and women with distinct and complementary roles (Eph 5:21-33), that God calls men to lead representatively (Num 30, 1 Tim 2:8-15), and that He created sex to be a covenant act only between one man and one woman in marriage (Gen 2:24; Matt 19:4-6).
What do we do?
Join us every Saturday at 4 PM. We start with Hebrew and English liturgy and song. We then have a children's lesson followed by a time of Bible study following the weekly Torah portion being studied by the Jewish people around the world. We then share current events and prayer requests and pray for the Jewish people and the state of Israel. We finish with a meal together. We'd love to have you join us!
