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.

  • All of our activities are for the entire family.

  • Home Bible studies for the entire family form the core of our fellowship.

• 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.
