Bible
We believe that the Bible, composed of both the Tenach (Old Covenant) and the Brit Hadashah (New Covenant), is the only infallible and authoritative Word of G-d.

2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 15:4, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17
G-d
We believe that G-d is echad, as declared in the Shema, a “united one” or “compound unity,” eternally existent in three persons.

Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 48:16-17, 1 John 5:7-11
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in G-d's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of G-d's creations.

The Divinity of Yeshua (Jesus)
We believe in the divinity of Yeshua HaMashiach (Yeshua the Messiah), that he is the “seed of the woman” as G-d promised, and that his virgin birth was to be a sign to Israel that he was the Messiah.
Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Matthew 1:22-23
Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Matthew 1:22-23
Yeshua's Life
We believe in Yeshua HaMashiach's life, his miracles yesterday and today, his vicarious and sacrificial death as our atonement, his bodily resurrection, his appearance afterward in Jerusalem, his ascension, his personal future return for his followers (both living and dead), and his future establishment of his kingdom on earth.
Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 53:8-11, 2 Corinthians 5:21
Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 53:8-11, 2 Corinthians 5:21
Grace
We believe that the only means of being saved from sin and iniquity is by G-d’s grace, through faith in the shed sacrificial blood of Yeshua HaMashiach, and that regeneration by the Spirit of G-d is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
Leviticus 17:11, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 1:17
Leviticus 17:11, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 1:17
Ruach HaKodesh
רוח הקודש
We believe in the present ministry of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), who enables us to live godly lives when he dwells within us.

Jeremiah 31:31-34, John 14:15-17, Galatians 3:13-25
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The former go to everlasting life and the latter to eternal separation from G-d, a state of everlasting punishment.
Daniel 12:2, Matthew 25:46, Genesis 15:6
Daniel 12:2, Matthew 25:46, Genesis 15:6
Middle Wall of Partition
We believe that the middle wall of partition, which in the past separated Jews and Gentiles, has been broken down as the enmity between them was eradicated by the Messiah Yeshua.
Ephesians 2:12-24, Acts 10:34
Ephesians 2:12-24, Acts 10:34
Sons and Daughters of Israel
We believe that the Jews (descendants of Jacob either through the bloodline of the mother or father) who place their faith in Israel’s Messiah have not disowned or separated themselves from their race and their Judaic heritage, but remain sons and daughters of Israel. Gentiles who place their faith in Israel’s Messiah are also, spiritually, sons and daughters of Israel..
Galatians 3:28-29, Romans 2:28-29
Galatians 3:28-29, Romans 2:28-29
New Covenant Body
We believe that the New Covenant body of the Lord is composed of both Jews and Gentiles who have accepted Yeshua as the promised Redeemer, and that now they are to worship together in the House of G-d.
1 Corinthians 12:13, Hebrews 10:25
1 Corinthians 12:13, Hebrews 10:25
Jewish Followers of Yeshua
We believe that as Jewish followers of Yeshua, we are called to maintain our Jewish Biblical heritage and remain a part of our people, Israel, and the universal Body of Believers. This is part of our identity and a witness to the faithfulness of G-d.
Romans 3:1-4, 1 Corinthians 7:17-18, Acts 21:20-24
Romans 3:1-4, 1 Corinthians 7:17-18, Acts 21:20-24
Marriage
We believe that marriage is a holy estate, ordained by G-d to be entered into by one man and one woman.
Genesis 2:20-24
Genesis 2:20-24
Homosexuality and Transgenderism
We believe that homosexuality and changing one's gender are sins according to the Bible and the laws of G-d. G-d loves all people, including those who practice homosexuality, and we seek to demonstrate His love to them and plead with them to turn from these sins and receive His forgiveness. But none who continue in their practice of these sins can be members, employees or hold positions of leadership in this congregation.
Leviticus 18:22, 20:13
Leviticus 18:22, 20:13
Women in Leadership
The role of women in leadership is a critical issue for any congregation because it has very practical implications. It is not like discussions of more abstract theological issues. It directly affects how we organize ourselves to accomplish our purposes. It is also a complex issue requiring the study of several relevant Bible passages and considering which statements in the Bible hold across cultures and which are situation specific.
We follow Biblical Judaism, rather than rabbinical Judaism, and teach both the Old and New Covenant from a Jewish perspective. Our desire is to live out G-d’s purpose for the Jewish people as a “light to the world”, and we want to help others do the same.
Committed to restoring the Jewish roots of our faith, we celebrate the Jewish holidays and worship G-d in Hebrew and English. We are a place where Jewish people can worship the G-d of Israel and follow Yeshua as the Messiah while keeping their Jewish identity.
