Upcoming

Passover Seder

We are excited to celebrate our first Passover Seder as a church and would love for you to join us! Register

Shabbat / Sabbath

The most important of Jewish holidays, Shabbat is a day of rest that begins on sundown Friday and ends on sundown Saturday. Shabbat is welcomed by the lighting of the candles, reciting special prayers over the wine and the bread (challah), and praying blessings over one another. We encourage families to celebrate this special weekly holiday to get closer to God and each other.

Purim / Feast of Lots

Though not considered a biblical feast, the Jewish People celebrate it to commemorate God’s deliverance of their ancestors from being destroyed by Haman as noted in the book of Esther. Many Christians join in the celebration.

Pesach / Passover

Commemorates Israel’s miraculous exodus from Egypt by the hand of God. Christians believe it was fulfilled by Jesus becoming our Passover Lamb. Messianic Jews and Christians celebrate Passover to also remember the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, His resurrection, and our deliverance from the slavery of sin.
