We believe in One God – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who reveals Himself as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

We believe the Sh’ma, that the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

 

We believe the words of Yeshua that the second greatest commandment is to love others as ourselves and that there are no commandments greater than these.

 

We believe in Yeshua ha Mashiach, Jesus, the Messiah, who is God/deity, and the Savior of the world, the Deliverer of Zion and the King of kings and Lord of lords.

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who is God manifest in those who believe in Him and Who is actively expressing the gifts of God in the earth today through signs, wonders, and miracles.

 

We believe that Yeshua is God incarnate, Who came from heaven to earth, lived a sinless life, preached the Good News of redemption through blood – His blood – healed every kind of affliction, and set captives free from Hell.

 

We believe Yeshua died on a tree, crucified at the hands of sinful men and that He rose from the dead on the third day conquering the power of death for everyone who puts their trust in Him.

 

We believe that anyone who confesses their sin, repents of their sin, asks forgiveness of their sin, professes and believes Yeshua is Lord and God and commits their life to Him will have eternal life, just as He promised.

 

We believe that there is no other way to eternal life whether a person is Jew or Gentile, than through the blood of Yeshua.

 

We believe that God’s Word – the entire Tenach, both original and new Covenants – is true and that it is the divine guideline for living a life of faith and through it is revealed the mysteries of life and redemption.

 

We believe the Word of God reveals God Himself through His covenant with Israel and the Jewish people, that the promise He made to Abraham is even now being fulfilled in this world – He promised to bless Abraham and that through this covenant all peoples (nations/the Gentiles) on earth will be blessed.

 

We believe that God’s covenant with Israel and the Jewish people is an everlasting covenant and that He expanded that covenant to include all nations, the Gentiles, when they put their faith in Him.

 

We believe it is God’s expressed will that Jew and Gentile become “One New Man”, that is, that they will become as one in their love for God and each other and by this He will be glorified.

 

We believe that the identity of Jew and Gentile are distinct throughout the Scripture and that God did not take away His promise to faithful Israel or remove His covenant or replace them with Gentile believers. Both Jew and Gentile who believe and put their hope – all their heart, soul, mind, and strength – in God are His covenant people.

 

We believe that Israel’s distinct role is to be God’s banner to the nations and that He reveals Himself through His dealings with this land and the Jewish people, even in our day.

 

We believe that Yeshua will physically and literally return to the Mt. of Olives in the Land of Israel and that all the words of the prophets concerning the wrath of God being poured out on the nations who come against Israel will be fulfilled.

 

We believe that in the last day, the Lord will restore all things and that the Kingdom of heaven will come to earth and Yeshua ha Mashiach who is forever the Root and Offspring of David of the tribe of Judah, will be worshipped and exalted throughout eternity from His royal throne in the New Jerusalem.

 

We believe that the increase of His ruler-ship and His government will have no end.

 

 

Israel and the Church

We believe that believers are part of Israel, both natural and wild branches grafted into Israel by the blood of the Messiah (Romans 11). We DO NOT believe or teach that believers have replaced Israel, but rather have become part of, joint-heirs of the promise, and members of the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:11, Romans 11: 11-24, Jeremiah 31: 31-34, Hebrews 8: 8-12).
