Beliefs

We believe that the Scriptures (both Tenach and Brit Chadashah) are fully inspired and God’s complete and final revelation to man until the Messiah returns. As such, they are inerrant in the original writings and authoritative in every category of knowledge to which they speak including faith, practice, science, and history.

We believe that there is one God who is a unique unity, existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Yeshua of Nazareth is the promised Messiah of Israel, born of the Jewish virgin Miriam (Mary). We believe in His full deity and full humanity, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary death as an atonement for sin, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His intercession on behalf of believers as their Great High Priest.

We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and sin in thought, word, and deed. Hence, all humanity is lost and totally alienated from God, and in need of divine forgiveness.

We believe that forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to God are not the result of any human effort or merit but entirely dependant on the undeserved favor of God through faith in the Lord Yeshua, the Messiah.

We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers from the moment of salvation and enables them to live godly lives. The ministry of the Spirit is to glorify Messiah Yeshua and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, give spiritual gifts consistent with scripture, to guide, seal, instruct, immerse, and empower believers to godly living and service.

We believe that there is one universal body of Messiah, in which all believers, Jewish and Gentile, are united as equal members. The local body is the visible manifestation of the universal body. Whereas entrance to the universal body is immediate upon faith in Messiah Yeshua, entrance to the local body is a duty enjoined upon believers and based on volition.

We believe the promises made by God to the Jewish people in the unconditional covenants of the Tenach remain in effect despite their national rejection of Messiah Yeshua. Ultimately, Israel as a nation will recognize Yeshua as their Messiah and so “all Israel shall be saved.”

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men. Believers shall be resurrected to enjoy eternal life with God. Non-believers shall be resurrected to experience judgment and then eternal suffering apart from God.

We believe in the personal, bodily, visible return of the Lord Yeshua in power and glory to establish His Messianic Kingdom.
