Kehilat HaMashiach
Who We Are
 
It can be said that a person is known by the company he keeps. We believe it is also true of an organization such as a messianic synagogue. You can know something more about us by our affiliations. Here are the links to two messianic organizations that we are apart of:

UMJC (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations) 

IAMCS (International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues)

Both of these groups comprise most of what makes up modern, mainstream Messianic Judaism. Enjoy browsing through their websites to learn more. Shalom.

Here's something about us and what we believe:


Who We Are

Kehilat HaMashiach is a synagogue comprised of both Jewish and Gentile followers of Yeshua (also known as Jesus) as the promised Messiah of Israel. Consistent with the tenets of Messianic Judaism, our faith and practice maintains a Jewish identity, heritage and culture that is representative of the modern day movement among Jewish people for Yeshua.

Our congregational practice and teachings are based on the whole of the Tenach (the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings) as well as the Brit Chadasha (the New Covenant Scriptures). Along with the Tenach, the New Covenant is taught from its inherent Jewish perspective, with the recognition that both were written by faithful Jewish men of G-d.

In keeping with the Biblical roots of our Jewish heritage, we observe the various Biblical Feasts and Holy Days of the L-rd. In addition to incorporating various traditional elements, we apply New Covenant understandings and instructions to the foundational teachings within the Torah. Above all, we emphasize in our worship experience and walk with the L-rd, a growing, vibrant personal relationship with the Living G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because of the finished work of Messiah Yeshua, which is made available for all who call upon His Name.

Articles of Faith

We believe in One G-d as declared in the Shema (Deut. 6: 4), who is “Echad”, a “Compound Unity”, eternally existing in three persons – G-d the Father, G-d the Son, and G-d the Holy Spirit (Isa. 48: 16-17, Gen. 1: 1, Ex. 3: 6 and Eph. 4: 4-6).

We believe in Messiah Yeshua’s diety (Isa. 9: 6, John 1: 1,4). His virgin birth (Isa. 7: 1,4), His sinless life, His atoning death (Isa. 53, Psl. 22), His bodily resurrection, His ascension, and His future return in power and glory.

We believe the Bible, consisting of the Tenach (the older Covenant Scriptures) and the Brit Chadasha (the newer Covenant Scriptures), to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of G-d (Psl. 119: 89, Prov. 30: 5-6, 2 Tim. 3: 16-17); that the Torah (the first five books of the older Covenant) is G-d’s divine revelation for holy living (Deut. 30: 15,16,19,20, Rom. 7: 12; 8:2); revealing His Nature and standard of righteousness and truth (Rom. 2:13,20, Psl. 119:142).

We believe that man, through his sin, is separated from G-d (Isa. 59: 2, Eccl. 7: 20, Psl. 53: 3, Isa. 64: 5-6). Relationship can be restored with G-d by man’s repentance, through G-d’s grace, based on faith in Yeshua’s sacrificial death. We are then cleansed and fully reconciled to G-d (Heb. 2: 17, 2 Tim. 1: 10, 1 Peter 1: 18-21).

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, who indwells all believers upon confession of the Messiah (Acts 2: 38-39, Eph. 1: 13). The Holy Spirit enables us to live godly lives and empowers us to understand and apply the Word (Eze. 36: 26-27), to exercize all Biblical gifts, and to do the service of the L-rd (Rom. 12, Gal. 5: 22-23).

We believe in G-d’s eternal covenant made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We therefore stand with and support the Jewish people and the State of Israel and hold fast to the Biblical heritage of our forefathers (Gen 17: 1-8).
