1. THE ONE TRUE GOD — ABBA FATHER

We believe in the One True and Living God, the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is in them. He alone is God; there is none like Him. He is eternal, holy, sovereign, perfect, all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, righteous, just, merciful, gracious, faithful, and abounding in steadfast love.

We believe that the One True God has revealed Himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—distinct in Person, yet One in divine nature, glory, and Godhead. We worship one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God is our Creator and the giver and sustainer of life. He is a covenant-keeping God who is faithful to His Word and His promises. He is righteous in all His ways, merciful and gracious, yet holy and just in His judgment.

God desires relationship with His people and seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. He hears prayer, forgives and cleanses those who confess their sins, protects and sustains His people, and remains faithful throughout every generation.

We believe that God alone is worthy of our worship, reverence, obedience, love, and complete devotion. Our desire is to know Him, fear Him, love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and glorify Him in everything we do.

2. YESHUA HAMASHIACH — JESUS CHRIST OUR MESSIAH

We believe in Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ—the eternal Son of God and the Word who was with God and is God. He is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit in the eternal Godhead. He is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. In His first coming, He took upon Himself true humanity and was fully God and fully man.

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He came into the world as the promised Jewish Messiah, lived a completely sinless and spotless life, walked in perfect obedience to the Father, and was filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

He proclaimed the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, sought and saved the lost, made disciples, healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, and demonstrated the Kingdom through signs, wonders, and miracles. He honored the Scriptures, observed Shabbat and the Feasts of the Lord, revealed the Father, and promised the coming of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. He is the Light of the world and the Resurrection and the Life. Salvation is found in Him alone.

We believe that Jesus Christ willingly gave Himself for us. He suffered and was crucified, shed His blood for the forgiveness and redemption of sinners, died as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and was buried. His sacrifice is sufficient for our redemption and established the New Covenant in His blood.

We believe that on the third day Jesus Christ bodily rose from the dead in victory, possessing a glorious resurrected body. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him, and He continues His ministry as our exalted Lord and Messiah.

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in great power and glory. He will come with the clouds, and every eye will see Him. He will judge the living and the dead, defeat His enemies, abolish death, and establish His righteous rule. He will reign as King upon the earth during the coming Messianic Millennial Kingdom, in fulfillment of the written prophetic Word of God.

We believe that Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ—is Lord, Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, King, and the only One through whom humanity can be reconciled to God. He alone is worthy of our faith, worship, obedience, allegiance, and complete surrender.

3. THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, who is fully and eternally God, one with the Father and the Son in the divine Godhead. The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, possessing will, knowledge, and purpose. He is eternal, holy, all-knowing, ever-present, and sovereign in His work. He was active in creation and continues to accomplish the purposes of God throughout His redemptive work.

We believe in the fullness of the Holy Spirit revealed in the sevenfold description of the Spirit of God in Isaiah 11:2—the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, and the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. We understand this sevenfold description as revealing the fullness of the one Holy Spirit and His divine ministry, not seven separate Holy Spirits.

We believe that the Holy Spirit was active in the incarnation of Jesus Christ—His coming into the world as the Word made flesh—and throughout His earthly ministry. Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. At His baptism, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, and Jesus ministered in the power of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit was also active in His resurrection from the dead.

We believe that Jesus Christ promised His disciples that the Father would send the Holy Spirit. In fulfillment of His promise, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples at Pentecost—Shavuot—filling and empowering them to become witnesses of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit continues to fill and empower the Body of Christ to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and fulfill the Great Commission to the nations.

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment and works in bringing people to the new birth. He dwells in those who belong to Jesus Christ, seals believers as God’s own, bears witness that we are children of God, and works within us to transform us increasingly into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Holy Spirit teaches believers, brings the words of Jesus Christ to remembrance, guides us into truth, reveals the things of God, and glorifies Jesus Christ. He leads God’s people into holiness, obedience, prayer, worship, spiritual maturity, and deeper fellowship with God.

We believe that every believer should continually yield to and be filled with the Holy Spirit. He empowers believers to live for Jesus Christ, overcome the works of the flesh, walk according to the Spirit, and become effective witnesses of Jesus Christ. Through His power, believers are equipped to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and participate faithfully in the Great Commission from their communities to the nations.

We believe that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts according to His sovereign will for the edification, strengthening, and equipping of the Body of Christ and for the work of ministry. We believe that the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit remain active and available to the Body of Christ according to the sovereign will of God and are to operate in biblical order, love, humility, discernment, and submission to the authority of Scripture.

We believe that the Holy Spirit produces His fruit in the lives of believers, forming godly character that reflects Jesus Christ. He strengthens us in our weakness, helps us in prayer, intercedes according to the will of God, and empowers us to live lives that glorify the Father through Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, being a divine Person, can be grieved and resisted, and His work can be quenched. Therefore, we are called to honor His presence, respond to His conviction, submit to His leading, and walk in obedience to Him.

We receive with holy fear and utmost seriousness the warning of Jesus Christ concerning blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Therefore, we are to regard the Person, presence, and work of the Holy Spirit with reverence, humility, discernment, and obedience to the Word of God.

Therefore, we desire to be a people who welcome the presence and work of the Holy Spirit, continually seek to be filled with Him, listen to His leading, obey His direction, cultivate His fruit, faithfully exercise the gifts He gives, and depend upon His power to glorify Jesus Christ and accomplish the purposes of God.

4. SALVATION — BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST

We believe that all humanity has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and that sin separates humanity from a holy and righteous God. No one can save himself or herself through good works, religious observance, human effort, morality, or personal merit. Humanity needs the salvation that God alone provides.

We believe that salvation is found in Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ alone. He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, shed His blood for our redemption and forgiveness, was buried, and bodily rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures. Through His atoning sacrifice and victorious resurrection, sinners can be forgiven, reconciled to God, and receive eternal life.

We believe that salvation is the gift of God, given by grace and received through faith in Jesus Christ, and cannot be earned by human works. God calls every person to repent and believe the Gospel, turning from sin toward God and placing genuine faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

We believe that every person must be born again. The new birth is the work of the Holy Spirit, through whom the believer receives new spiritual life, becomes a child of God, and is made a new creation in Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells within the believer and begins His transforming work in the believer’s life.

We believe that through the sacrificial death and shed blood of Jesus Christ, God established the New Covenant. Those who belong to Christ receive forgiveness and reconciliation with God and are called to live in the reality of the New Covenant through faith in Him.

We believe that genuine salvation produces a transformed life of following Jesus Christ. We are not saved by good works, but those who are saved are called to walk in obedience, holiness, love, faithfulness, and the good works God has prepared for them through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Those who receive Jesus Christ are called to confess Him openly as Lord, follow Him as His disciples, be baptized in water in obedience to His command, and seek to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire for a life fully surrendered to God and empowered to be witnesses of Jesus Christ. Believers are called to abide in His Word, fellowship with the Body of Christ, proclaim the Gospel, and make disciples of others.

We believe that salvation in Jesus Christ carries the sure hope of eternal life and the resurrection from the dead. Just as Jesus Christ bodily rose from the dead, those who belong to Him will also be raised from the dead. At His coming, the dead in Christ will be raised, and believers who are alive will be gathered together with them to meet the Lord. We therefore live in the blessed hope of the resurrection, eternal life, and being forever with the Lord.

5. SERVICE — WORSHIP THROUGH OBEDIENCE AND KINGDOM MINISTRY

We believe that serving God is an expression of our love, reverence, and holy fear of Him. We serve Him because we love Him, fear Him, honor Him, and desire to obey and glorify Him with our lives. Having been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, we do not serve in order to earn salvation or God’s acceptance; rather, we serve because we belong to Christ and desire to worship Him through a life of wholehearted surrender and obedience.

We believe that every believer has been called to serve God and others. We are members of the Body of Christ, and God has entrusted each believer with gifts, abilities, opportunities, and responsibilities to be used faithfully for the edification of the Body and the advancement of His Kingdom.

We believe that Jesus Christ is our supreme example of servanthood. He came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life for others. Therefore, we are called to follow His example by serving with humility, love, compassion, faithfulness, integrity, and a willingness to place the needs of others before ourselves.

We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers believers for the work of ministry and distributes spiritual gifts according to His sovereign will. These gifts are not given for personal recognition or self-exaltation, but for serving others, strengthening the Body of Christ, accomplishing God’s purposes, and bringing glory to Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Fivefold ministries—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—are given by Jesus Christ to equip the saints for the work of ministry, build up the Body of Christ, and lead believers toward unity, spiritual maturity, and the fullness of Christ. Therefore, ministry is not the responsibility of leaders alone; the saints are equipped so that the whole Body may participate in the work God has entrusted to His people.

We believe that Christian service includes caring for people in need, showing mercy and compassion, strengthening fellow believers, using our gifts faithfully, supporting the work of God’s Kingdom, and making ourselves available wherever God calls us to serve.

We believe that every follower of Jesus Christ shares responsibility for the Great Commission. We are called to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, baptize believers, teach them to obey the commands of Jesus Christ, and become His witnesses in our families, communities, cities, provinces, and nations.

Therefore, we desire to serve God wholeheartedly—not seeking recognition for ourselves, but faithfully stewarding what He has entrusted to us, building up His people, advancing His Kingdom, fulfilling the Great Commission, and doing everything for the glory of God through Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ.

6. GENTILE BELIEVERS, ISRAEL, THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND GOD’S END-TIME PURPOSES

We believe that God’s covenant purposes concerning Israel and the Jewish people have not been abandoned. In accordance with Romans 11, Gentile believers in Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ—have been grafted into the cultivated olive tree and have become partakers of the rich root that supports them. Therefore, Gentile believers are called to walk in humility, gratitude, faith, and the fear of God, remembering that we do not support the root, but the root supports us.

We believe that Gentile believers must not become ignorant, arrogant, or boastful concerning Israel and the Jewish people. We recognize that the biblical and Jewish roots of our faith are inseparably connected to God’s redemptive purposes revealed throughout Scripture, the covenants, the prophets, and ultimately through Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ, the promised Jewish Messiah.

We believe that God has an end-time purpose for His people and that Gentile believers have a God-given role within His redemptive plan. Therefore, we desire to understand and faithfully fulfill our responsibility in these last days, standing in humility with God’s purposes for Israel and the Jewish people, strengthening and equipping the Body of Christ, and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations.

We believe in God’s purpose to bring Jew and Gentile together in Messiah as One New Man, reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. We therefore reject both pride and division and desire to walk in the unity, reconciliation, love, and Kingdom purpose that God has established in Messiah.

We believe that the written prophetic Word of God will surely come to pass. God alone is sovereign over the fulfillment of His prophetic purposes. As His people, we desire to recognize and understand God’s appointed times, obey His Word, and faithfully participate in the role He has entrusted to us as His purposes unfold, including those written prophecies that remain to be fulfilled concerning Israel, the Body of Christ, the nations, the return of Jesus Christ, and His coming Messianic Kingdom.

Therefore, as Gentile believers grafted in by faith, we desire to honor the root that supports us, stand with God’s redemptive purposes for Israel and the Jewish people, strengthen and equip the Body of Christ, walk in the unity of the One New Man, fulfill the Great Commission, and faithfully carry out our God-given role in these last days as we await the return and reign of Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ.

7. THE FEASTS OF THE LORD — GOD’S APPOINTED TIMES

We believe that the Feasts of the LORD are God’s appointed times, established in Scripture for His purposes and glory. We honor and celebrate these appointed times to remember God’s mighty acts of redemption, deepen our understanding of the biblical and Jewish roots of our faith, and recognize their prophetic witness to Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ and God’s unfolding redemptive plan.

We believe that salvation and righteousness are found in Jesus Christ alone and are received by grace through faith, not through observing biblical feasts, days, traditions, or religious works. Therefore, we do not celebrate the Feasts of the LORD as a means of earning salvation, justification, or acceptance before God, nor do we teach that Gentile believers must become Jewish in order to follow Jesus Christ. Rather, we honor God’s appointed times in freedom, faith, gratitude, worship, and reverence for Him.

We believe that the Spring Feasts prophetically reveal and find fulfillment in events associated with the first coming of Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ. Passover points to His sacrificial death as the Lamb of God; Unleavened Bread points to His sinless sacrifice and burial; Firstfruits points to His bodily resurrection from the dead; and Shavuot—Pentecost—points to the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, empowering them to become witnesses of Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Fall Feasts prophetically point toward events associated with the return of Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive purposes. The Feast of Trumpets points prophetically toward the resurrection and gathering of believers; the Day of Atonement points prophetically toward the return of Jesus Christ; and the Feast of Tabernacles points prophetically toward His glorious reign upon the earth in the coming Messianic Millennial Kingdom.

We believe that God’s appointed times help us understand the unity and prophetic progression of Scripture—from redemption and deliverance, through the death and resurrection of Messiah and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, toward the resurrection and gathering of believers, the return of Jesus Christ, and His coming Kingdom.

We therefore desire to approach the Feasts of the LORD with biblical understanding, reverence, thanksgiving, worship, and Christ-centered faith. Our observance must always direct attention to Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ, deepen our love for God’s Word, help us understand God’s purposes concerning Israel and the nations, strengthen and equip the Body of Christ, and prepare God’s people to live faithfully as we await the return of our Messiah and King.

8. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES — THE INSPIRED AND AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD

We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, given through human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures are true, trustworthy, and authoritative, revealing who God is, His redemptive purposes, His will for humanity, and His plan of salvation through Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ.

We believe in the divine inspiration, unity, and authority of the whole counsel of Scripture. We receive both the Hebrew Scriptures—commonly called the Old Testament—and the New Testament as the written Word of God. We do not regard the Hebrew Scriptures as irrelevant or without value for believers in Jesus Christ; rather, together the Scriptures reveal the unfolding redemptive purposes of God from creation through the covenants and the prophets, to Messiah’s first coming, the New Covenant, His return, and His coming Kingdom.

We believe that all Scripture ultimately bears witness to Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ. He is the promised Messiah revealed throughout God’s redemptive story, and the Scriptures must be understood in a way that honors Him, His finished work, His Kingdom, and the purposes of God accomplished through Him.

We believe that the Word of God is living and powerful. Through His Word, God teaches, corrects, rebukes, trains, strengthens, encourages, and equips His people for every good work. Therefore, believers are called not only to hear and study the Word, but to receive it with faith, meditate upon it, obey it, and allow it to transform their lives.

We believe that the Holy Spirit illuminates the Scriptures and leads believers into truth. The Holy Spirit never contradicts the written Word He inspired. Therefore, every doctrine, teaching, prophecy, revelation, spiritual experience, manifestation, tradition, and ministry practice must be prayerfully examined and tested according to the Holy Scriptures.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the final written authority for faith, doctrine, spiritual discernment, moral conduct, ministry, and Christian living. Human traditions, cultural values, personal opinions, experiences, dreams, visions, prophetic words, and spiritual manifestations must never be given authority above the written Word of God.

We believe that the Scriptures reveal God’s covenant faithfulness and His redemptive purposes concerning Israel, the Jewish people, the Body of Christ, and the nations. Through the written Word, we seek to understand the biblical and Jewish roots of our faith, God’s appointed times, the prophetic Scriptures, the Great Commission, the return of Jesus Christ, and His coming Messianic Kingdom.

Therefore, we desire to be a people who love the Word of God, hunger for His truth, study the Scriptures diligently, rightly handle His Word, obey what God has spoken, and build our lives and ministry upon its truth. Above all, we desire that the Scriptures lead us into a deeper knowledge and love of God, the fear of the LORD, true worship, wholehearted obedience, and an ever-deepening knowledge and love of Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ.

9. GENEROSITY, GIVING, AND STEWARDSHIP — WORSHIPING GOD WITH WHAT HE HAS ENTRUSTED TO US

We believe that God is the source and rightful owner of all that we have. Every good gift comes from Him, and everything entrusted to us—our lives, time, abilities, spiritual gifts, possessions, finances, resources, and opportunities—is to be stewarded faithfully for His glory and according to His purposes.

We believe that giving is an expression of worship, gratitude, obedience, faith, love, and the fear of the LORD. We give not simply to fulfill an obligation, but because we love God, honor Him as our Provider, recognize His faithfulness, and desire to participate in the work of His Kingdom.

We honor the biblical principles of tithes, firstfruits, offerings, generosity, and caring for those in need. We believe that God’s people should cultivate generous and surrendered hearts, learning to give faithfully, willingly, sacrificially, and cheerfully according to what God has entrusted to them and according to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that giving does not earn salvation, righteousness, God’s love, forgiveness, spiritual status, or His acceptance. Salvation is the gift of God by grace through faith in Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ. Our generosity flows from what God has already graciously given to us and from hearts transformed by His grace.

We reject manipulation, coercion, condemnation, greed, and the misuse of Scripture or spiritual authority for financial gain. Giving should never be exploited as a means of purchasing God’s favor, guaranteeing material prosperity, or obtaining spiritual blessing through human transaction. Biblical generosity should arise from a willing, faithful, and surrendered heart, for God loves a cheerful giver.

We believe that generosity extends beyond financial giving. As faithful stewards, believers are called to offer their time, abilities, spiritual gifts, possessions, resources, hospitality, compassion, and service for the glory of God, the strengthening of the Body of Christ, the proclamation of the Gospel, and the care of people in need.

We believe that generosity should help advance the Great Commission, support the work of ministry, strengthen and equip the Body of Christ, care for the poor and those in need, support missions and Gospel workers, and make resources available for the advancement of God’s Kingdom in our communities and among the nations.

We believe that those entrusted with the finances and resources of God’s ministry carry a sacred responsibility before Him. Ministry resources should therefore be administered with integrity, honesty, wisdom, transparency, accountability, and the fear of the LORD. Those who steward what has been given for God’s work must remember that they are ultimately accountable to Him.

Therefore, we desire to be a generous and faithful people who honor God with everything He has entrusted to us—our lives, time, abilities, spiritual gifts, possessions, finances, resources, and opportunities. We desire to give freely, serve faithfully, care compassionately, support the proclamation of the Gospel, strengthen the Body of Christ, fulfill the Great Commission, and steward everything for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom through Yeshua HaMashiach—Jesus Christ.
