Statement Of Faith
One God, Forever Relational
א
The God of Israel is Echad אחד one in essence and indivisible. Yet the One makes Himself known through the fullness of His Presence: as The Holy One Blessed be He הקודש ברוך הוא who remains enthroned, as the Shekhinah שכינה embodied in Yeshua, and as the Ruach HaKodesh רוח הקודש who fills and sanctifies. All are the one God, personally present in different but inseparable ways.
Yeshua (ישוע), the Jewish Messiah
Yeshua of Natzeret is the one to whom the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings all bear witness—the Messiah appointed by the Holy One, to bring redemption to Israel and to the nations. In Him the promises of God came to their fullness. Through His death and His rising, the Holy One established the New Covenant ברית חדשה by which sins are forgiven, hearts are transformed, and the Holy Spirit is poured out upon all who entrust themselves to Him.
ב
Yeshua: Fully Divine, Fully Human
The God of Israel does not divide His being, but He can fully dwell. In Yeshua, the Holy One took up permanent residence in a real human life. He is therefore truly a son of Adam and truly the embodied presence of God.
ג
The Holy Spirit (רוח הקודש)
ד
When we trust in Yeshua, we receive the Holy Spirit—a real and present person who empowers us, shapes us, speaks to us, and walks with us as we become more like Messiah every day.
The Bible
We believe the entire Bible—from בראשית (Genesis) to התגלות (Revelation)—is the infallible word of God, the final authority of faith and still speaks today. It shapes how we live, love, and grow.
Torah
ה
ו
We believe the Torah תורה was given to shape Israel into a people that reflect God’s heart. Israel has always been made up of physical descendants of Abraham and those from the nations that lived within her and took up the calling of Israel.
Honoring Jewish
Tradition
ז
The Oral Torah תורה שבעל פה encompasses many traditions of our Jewish people over thousands of years and is the normative framework of Judaism. We love the traditions of our people. We celebrate and honor them in ways that connect us to our people, our Jewishness and our Messiah.
God’s Calling on Israel
ח
We hold that the will and righteousness of the Holy One, blessed be He, are enduring and unchanging. Yet the outward forms of sacred practice, and ritual expressions, have always been shaped by time and place, so long as they remain faithful to the Torah and serve to build up the community of Israel and those who cleave to her.
Restoring Israel
Reaching the Nations
ט
We yearn and labor for the גאולה redemption of Israel through her Messiah, and for the spreading of the knowledge of the Holy One among all the nations, until His redemption is revealed from one end of the earth to the other.
Saved by Grace,
Not Performance
י
ישועה Salvation comes to us as the work of our Go’el Redeemer, the Holy One. It is not acquired by human merit, but flows from חסד, His covenantal love and faithfulness. We lay hold of that redemption through אמונה—trusting and cleaving to Yeshua the Messiah, in whom the redeemer of Israel has made Himself present to save.
י״א
One Global Family
The Body of Messiah (גוף המשיח) is a spiritual family made up of Jews and people from every nation. Together, we’re living out the promise God made to Abraham.
Community and
Leadership
י״ב
We believe every community (קהילה) needs healthy, Spirit-led leadership. Leaders are called to shape local expression in ways that are wise, culturally aware, and rooted in God’s Word.
Empowered to Live
Like Yeshua
י״ג
Walking after Yeshua is a daily walk of בטול and faithfulness,
the setting aside of the self before the Holy One,
the continual filling of the רוח Spirit from above,
and the shaping of one’s whole life into the likeness of the Messiah.
