This is a congregation of primarily ethnic Jews who have come to believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures. Their services are more like those of a Conservative synagogue than the services of most Christian churches, and they observe the Jewish Holy Days and feasts in a generally traditional manner. This particular congregation is "Torah-observant," meaning that they believe that as ethnic Jews they are obligated to obey all parts of the Torah that can be fulfilled today. They are seeking to live out their Jewish heritage in the way they believe the Scriptures command them to; and that includes sharing the Good News of Jesus with anyone who does not yet believe in Him, regardless of their ethnic or religious identity. Our church has interacted with them a number of times over the years, and have always found them to be welcoming to all and eager to help us Gentiles better understand and appreciate the Jewish foundations of our faith.
This church is an organization whose mission is to go out and convert Jews to Christianity. Through the use of comforting imagery, this church targets Jewish people who are intermarried, unaffiliated and uneducated. The general Jewish community does recognize or support institutions like this as it is the antithesis of fundamental Jewish beliefs. For authentic Judaism look elsewhere.
Religious leaders across the Jewish spectrum have all declared that Messianic Jews are not Jews.
