Statement Of Faith

We are an educational community that joyfully affirms the following foundational beliefs:

The Bible is the Inspired Word of God

We affirm that the entire Bible, both the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh/Old Testament) and the Apostolic Writings (B’rit Hadashah/New Testament), is the divinely inspired, infallible Word of God. It is our supreme authority in matters of faith and practice, guiding us in our daily lives, teaching us God’s will, and revealing His eternal plan for humanity.

2 Timothy 3:16, Isaiah 40:6-8, I Peter 1:23-25, Isaiah 40:6-8, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 147:15, Isaiah 49:2

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the One True God

We believe the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the Creator of heaven and earth, and the God of Israel. He alone is the one true and living God, sovereign over all things. He is eternally existent as: the Father, His Holy Spirit (the Ruach HaKodesh) and His Son (Yeshua/Jesus). We trust, worship, and serve Him, recognizing His covenant faithfulness to His people and His ongoing redemptive work in the world.

1 Corinthians 8:4-6, Genesis 1:1, Psalm 102:25, Isaiah 40:21, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 1:10, Matthew 3:16-17, Isaiah 11:2, Psalm 2:7, Isaiah 42:1

Salvation comes through Yeshua the Messiah

We believe that Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth is the promised Messiah of Israel, as foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh/Old Testament). He is the Son of God, sent by the Father to bring salvation to all people through His death, burial, and resurrection. Yeshua is the fulfillment of God’s covenant promises to Israel, and through Him, we have eternal life and reconciliation with God. We believe in His second coming and the gathering of all who believe in Him unto Himself.

I John 4:9, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:20-23, Isaiah 7:14 & 9:6-7, Luke 1:27-32, Daniel 9:23, Judges 6:12, Isaiah 7:14, 2 Samuel 7:12-13, Psalm 132:11, Isaiah 9:6, Jeremiah 23:5] Romans 5:8, Isaiah 53:6, Galatians 1:4, Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9:26, Isaiah 53:12, 2 Corinthians 5:15, Habakkuk 2:4; Zechariah 10:9, Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, Isaiah 52:13-53:12

Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) dwells within all who trust in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah. The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live godly, holy lives, produces spiritual fruit, and equips us with spiritual gifts for service. Through the Holy Spirit, we are transformed and enabled to proclaim the good news of Yeshua with power and boldness.

(Acts 1:4-5 & 8; Acts 2:1-18 & 38-39)

God’s Calendar

We observe and honor God’s appointed times (moedim) as outlined in the Torah, recognizing the significance of His sacred calendar in both past and future events. The biblical feasts, including Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Shavuot (Feast of Weeks), Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (Feast of Tents), are prophetic shadows fulfilled in Yeshua and serve as ongoing reminders of God’s redemptive work in history. We also honor the seventh-day Sabbath (Shabbat) as a day of rest and worship, set apart by God at creation.

(Leviticus 23; Numbers 28-29; Deuteronomy 16)

Covenant Relationship with Israel

We acknowledge the eternal covenant that God made with Abraham and Isaac and believe that His promises to Israel remain valid. We stand with Israel and the Jewish people, honoring our shared heritage and identity as part of the commonwealth of Israel, while also welcoming those from all nations who come to faith in Yeshua (Jesus).

(Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 17:7-8; Genesis 26:3-5; Genesis 28:13-15; Exodus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 7:6-8; Jeremiah 31:31-37; Ezekiel 37:21-22; Romans 11:1-2, 25-29)

Literal Heaven and Hell

Literal Heaven and Hell
We believe in the reality of a literal heaven and hell. Heaven is the eternal dwelling place of those who have put their trust in Yeshua (Jesus), where they will experience everlasting life and communion with God. Hell is the eternal separation from God for those who reject His salvation. We proclaim the message of repentance and faith in Yeshua (Jesus), knowing that the choices made in this life determine eternal destiny.

(Philippians 3:20-21; Revelation 21:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 25:41&46; Mark 9:43-44; Revelation 20:10-15; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Daniel 12:2)

Sanctity of Marriage

We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between one man and one woman. This union reflects the relationship between Messiah and His people and is intended for companionship, mutual support, and the raising of godly children. We uphold the biblical definition of marriage as foundational to both family and society.

(Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2: 22-24; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:22-33; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Timothy 3:2)

The Value of Human Life

We affirm that all human life is created in the image of God and is therefore sacred and valuable. From conception to natural death, every person is worthy of dignity, love, and protection. We believe that God is the author of life, and we are called to defend the unborn, care for the vulnerable, and honor the dignity of every individual.

(Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 139:13-16; Exodus 20:13; Genesis 9:6; Isaiah 1:17; Jeremiah 1:5; Luke 1:41-44; Matthew 25:40; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

Spirit-Led Life

We believe in the ongoing work of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), who empowers believers to live godly lives, equips us for ministry, and bears witness to the truth of Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah. We seek to walk in the Spirit, growing in love, righteousness, and holiness, and sharing the good news of Yeshua (Jesus) with the world.

(Galatians 5:16-18; Galatians 5:22-25; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 3:16-17; Romans 8:14; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; Romans 8:26-27; Ephesians 6:18)
