About Us
We are so blessed to have the privilege of sharing God’s Word with anyone who is interested in hearing. We know that faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
What we are about
While many congregations share the same general mission, each church has a unique purpose. Here’s ours: Go into All the World and Preach the Gospel, teaching the principles of Torah (God’s teaching and instruction from Genesis to Revelation) and applying the truths revealed to a walk of obedience and faith. Starting with our own community, we reach out to our state, our nation, and the world as opportunities arise. “Go ye therefore and teach all nations…” (Matthew 28:19) We acknowledge every saint is a minister, every minister a servant.
We teach these absolute truths and recognize that all Christian believers have a foundation in Jesus Christ that has Hebrew Roots. We are absolutely settled upon salvation by grace through faith and recognize that God’s Torah does not mean “law”, but “instruction.” We are certain that God never changes. Neither do His instructions. We can never be made righteous by the works of the law,
For Messiah is the goal of the Torah as a means to righteousness for everyone who keeps trusting. Romans 10:4 (TLV)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 (TLV)
We believe every believer is made righteous by trusting in Jesus and is set in a local body for the purpose of serving the Messiah being called and equipped to minister through the power of the Holy Spirit.
“We will then no longer be infants tossed about by the waves and blown along by every wind of teaching, at the mercy of people clever in devising ways to deceive. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will, in every respect, grow up into Him who is the head, the Messiah. Under His control, the whole body is being fitted and held together, by the support of every joint, with each part working to fulfill its function; this is how the body grows and builds itself up in love.””(Ephesians 4:14-16) CJB
A House of Prayer
Strong, effectual prayer is vital to the health and wellbeing of every believer and congregation.
We covenant to pray for each other and for the world. “Praying always…with all prayer and supplication…for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:18
We continually and purposefully, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalms 122:6
For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. Isaiah 62:1
“If My people, called by My name, would humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
Receiving the Love of God:
“God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5 (ESV)
A Worship Center
We believe it is right and just to present our bodies as a living offering unto God in song as well as dance. We meet to focus our attention on God, delighting in praising and worshiping Him.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.” (Hebrews 10:25)
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His Name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” (Psalm 29:2)
“Hear O Israel, the LORD thy God the LORD is one. And thou shall love the LORD thy God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of your resources.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
A Teaching Center
It is our vision to help believers recognize and develop their ministry in the body of Christ, to reach maturity in word and deed, and to provide opportunity for growth in every aspect of their calling.
“And He gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some, evangelists, and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-12)
To achieve this, we believe it is critical we present ourselves to the complete study and instruction of God’s Torah (His teaching and instruction). We believe the “Old Testament” is just as valid and relevant today as it was the day it was given.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (II Timothy 3:16)
Receiving the Power of God:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…” Acts 1:8 (ESV)
An Outreach Center
We reach out in love through in-person, online services, and through our missionary support to share God’s good news locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
“…love one another, as I have loved you…by this shall all men know that ye are My disciples.” (John 13:34-35)
15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (ESV) Mark 16:15-18
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (ESV) Acts 1:8
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. (ESV) John 14:12

Receiving Gifts from God:
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…” James 1:17 (ESV)
What we believe.
- That the Scriptures are the divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
- That there is one God, eternally existent and manifesting as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- In the deity of Yeshua (Jesus the Messiah), His virgin birth, His sinless humanity, the eternal all-sufficiency of His death to redeem humanity through His blood shed for the remission of sin, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
- Salvation is the new birth, which is received through the grace of YHVH by confessing the Lordship of Yeshua (Jesus) and believing that we obtain eternal life through accepting His life sacrifice as atonement for our sin. Salvation through faith in Yeshua is the only way to obtain this life. Through deliverance by faith in Him, we are released from the bondage of poverty, sickness, and spiritual death and are released into the eternal pleasures of the Father.
- In the ministry of the Holy Spirit who convicts, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, enlightens, and empowers believers for Godly living and Who imparts spiritual gifts for the edification of the Body of Messiah.
- That the church is the spiritual body of which Yeshua is the head, both functionally and eternally. We observe the ordinances of Christian Baptism by immersion for believers and celebrate the feasts of God as prescribed in Scripture.
- In the resurrection of the human body and the eternal existence of all people, the redeemed to everlasting life in the presence of God and the lost to everlasting separation from God where there is eternal darkness and torment.
- That according to Romans chapter eleven we have been engrafted into the olive tree called Israel and along with Israel are nourished by the root. We have not replaced Israel as God’s chosen people in any manner or likeness.
- Every saint is a minister and every minister a servant to the betterment of the Kingdom of God and the body of Yeshua. Every believer walks with, and under, the authority of God and, through continual communion with Him, has the authority and ability to restore sight to the blind; hearing to the deaf; the restoration of life to the dead; and has authority over every principality from the kingdom of darkness.
