We Are Torah-Observant Followers of Yeshua — Not Messianic Jews - MarkB - 11/16/2025
We want to offer a simple clarification about who we are as a community.
Our fellowship identifies as Torah-observant followers of Yeshua. We seek to follow Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah while honoring the commandments, holy days and teachings found in the Torah. Our aim is to walk in the full truth of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, with faith in Messiah at the center.
However, we are not a Messianic Jewish community. While we are dedicated to following Torah, we do not study or practice within the rabbinic or Talmudic tradition.
We deeply respect our Jewish brothers and sisters in faith, but our identity, background, and approach differ. We come from diverse Christian origins and are rediscovering the Hebrew foundations of the faith rather than practicing Judaism culturally or ethnically.
That said, Messianic Jews are warmly welcome here. Anyone who seeks to follow Yeshua and values the Torah, the Scriptures, and fellowship is invited to participate fully in our community.
Our focus:
- Following Yeshua as Messiah
- Honoring the commandments and biblical festivals
- Returning to the Hebraic context of Scripture
- Building fellowship with like-minded believers
- Encouraging study, discipleship, and meet-ups rooted in the Word
