What Is Messianic Judaism?
A biblically based movement of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua (Jesus) — the promised Messiah of Israel.
A Faith Rooted in Scripture, Israel, and Yeshua
Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus — and it means Salvation. He was born Jewish, raised Jewish, taught in the synagogues, and was called Rabbi by His followers. Every one of His first disciples was Jewish. The writers of the New Testament — all Jewish.
The faith that would later be called “Christianity” did not begin as a Gentile religion. It began as a Jewish movement — a movement of Jews who believed the Messiah promised in their own Scriptures had finally come.
Messianic Judaism is a return to that original foundation.
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
— Matthew 5:17
The Core of Messianic Faith
The beliefs that unite Messianic Jews and Gentile believers around the world — and the foundation of our congregation.
The God of Israel
We believe in the one true God — the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Yeshua Is Messiah
We believe Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Jewish Messiah — born of a virgin, crucified for our sins, risen from the dead, and coming again.
The Whole Bible
We believe the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and New Covenant are the inspired Word of God — one continuous story of redemption.
Grace Through Faith
Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Yeshua alone. No human effort can earn God's gift of redemption.
Torah Is Relevant
The Torah was not abolished — it was fulfilled by Yeshua. God's instruction remains a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
One in Messiah
In Yeshua, the wall between Jew and Gentile is broken down. We are one body, one faith, grafted into the olive tree of Israel.
What Makes a Messianic Service Different?
Messianic congregations honor the Jewish roots of the faith — not as a cultural add-on, but as the original context in which God revealed Himself, gave His Word, and sent His Son.
"Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one."
— Deuteronomy 6:4
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace."
— Numbers 6:24–26
Messianic Judaism Around the World
Today, tens of thousands of Messianic Jews worship in the United States alone. Congregations are growing in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Holland, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, and South Africa. In Israel itself, an estimated 30,000 Messianic believers gather — the largest community since the first century.
