This congregation exists solely for the glory of G-d and for the fulfillment
of our divinely ordained responsibilities toward Him, toward our families,
toward others within the Body and Bride of Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach, toward
those who are outside of the Body of Mashiach (“the Lost”), and toward G-d’s
chosen nation of Israel and her people.
Why Did We
Start A New Congregation?
Because we
want to do what we believe no other congregation in the area is doing
-
We want a congregation that puts the family in its proper
place — worshipping together before G-d.
-
We want a congregation that puts the Bible
in its proper place — as our only rule of faith, practice, policy,
and procedure for the congregation.
-
We want a congregation that lives the
principles of the Family of G-d — not one that just talks about them.

We function as a
family, not as an organization
-
We want a congregation that is free from
legalism — free to fully enjoy the Grace of G-d.
-
We want a congregation that is faithful to
the Doctrine of the Shliachim (Apostles) as presented in the Apostolic
Scriptures, also known as the B'rit Chadasha (Renewed Covenant).
-
We want a congregation that teaches Biblical
theology — not humanist philosophy.
-
We want a twenty-first century congregation
firmly grounded on first-century principles and practice.
-
We want a congregation that stands before
our community as a proper example of what Mashiach expects His Bride to
be.
-
We want to practice our faith the way it was
practiced by the first believers, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
Our
Activities
-
This congregation is committed to follow the
example of the early Miqra and “continually devote [our]selves to the
apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to
prayer” (Acts 2:42), both by assembling ourselves together regularly for
corporate worship and study of the Sacred Text, and by meeting together in
small family groups for devotion and fellowship from time to time and in
such places as the LORD may direct.
-
Under the authority of Ephesians 4:11 and Titus 1:5, we:
-
license and commission (ordain)
spiritually qualified men who have been ordained by G-d to serve as
Zaqenim (Elders) of His Miqra, and
have been specifically called by Him into ministry as:
-
Apostles (Traveling Zaqenim, or
Missionaries),
-
Prophets (Preaching Zaqenim),
-
Evangelists (Gospelizing Zaqenim), and
-
Pastor/Teachers (Shepherding Zaqenim);
-
commission and support spiritually
qualified men and women who have been called by G-d to any mission
field, whether at home or in any foreign nation;
-
faithfully proclaim the Gospel of Yeshua
HaMashiach to the Jew first and also to the Gentile;
-
educate Believers in Mashiach in any
manner consistent with the requirements of Holy Scripture;
-
maintain missionary activities in the
United States and any foreign country; and
-
engage in any other ministry that we may
at any time decide to pursue in obedience to the will of G-d.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a significant lack of interest in the
Messianic Message in our geographical area, Adat B'nei HaMelech has been forced (at least
for the foreseeable future) to cease functioning as an active congregation. These adverse
circumstances have forced me to take a full-time secular position which will require me to
work evenings and weekends for the foreseeable future, precluding group Bible studies due to
schedule conflicts. I will, however, continue to operate this website as an on-line ministry
for as long as the LORD leads me to do so. As the LORD leads you, your continuing prayers
and financial support to offset the on-going web-hosting and other operating costs will be
sincerely appreciated. — Ari
