We believe in one God, who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God has revealed Himself in creation and in the history of Israel as transmitted in Scripture. (Gen. 1:1; I Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:4-6)
We believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Eternal One in Whom all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form, and who is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, and whose glory we beheld, the glory of the uniquely begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-14; Colossians 2:9)
We believe that the Spirit of God comforts, teaches, leads, indwells, and empowers all whom God regenerates. We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit. (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7)
We believe that the Bible, both the TaNaKh and the Apostolic Scriptures, are the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
We believe Yeshua’s death and resurrection accomplished the atonement for all who place their faith in Him. Whoever trusts in God, in His work alone, is made a new creation in Yeshua, indwelt by the Spirit of God, and is transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His own Son. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5 and 6)
We believe salvation is by faith through the grace of God alone, and not by human efforts. One may not earn or merit this eternal salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 8:29-39)
We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Yeshua the Messiah. (Ephesians 2:11-12)
We believe in the continuity of God’s covenants with the Jewish people, the physical people of Israel (Jeremiah 31:35-36 and parallel passages). Part of the fulfillment of these covenants is the physical return of the Jewish people to their Promised Land. (Deuteronomy 30)
We believe that all Gentiles who trust in Yeshua are grafted into Israel. While this does not make them Jewish, they are full and equal participants in the covenants of promise. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11-24; Jeremiah 31:33)
We believe that the Torah is a revelation of the righteousness of God and a description (along with the rest of Scripture) of the lifestyle of the redeemed community, giving instruction for loving God and loving our neighbor. (Matthew 5:17-19; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe God’s kingdom has come in the ministry and kingship of Yeshua, that it continues to come in the ministry of the Spirit through the community of believers, and that it will be consummated in the glorious, visible, and triumphant appearing of Messiah.
We believe in the literal, physical return of Messiah to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. We hold to a premillennial view of His return. (Zechariah 14; Revelation 19-20)
