about us
We are Believers In Messiah
Messiah Believers
We describe ourselves as Believers in Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah, the Son of God, referred to as Believers In Messiah. We believe it is spiritually crucial to join oneself to the Son, the person of Jesus the Messiah, and receive the seal of His Holy Spirit (Eph 1:13) in order to come under His priesthood and receive of His salvation for the adoption of sons into the Kingdom of God (Eph 1:5, Gal 4:5-6). The mystery of being In Jesus Messiah is the mystery of our salvation under the blood Covenant of the New and Living Way of Jesus Messiah’s Heavenly High Priesthood (Heb 7:24-26,10:19-20). This is the mystery that deciphers the Apostle Paul’s teaching for no longer being under the Mosiac law of the Aaronic Priesthood (Heb 7:28, 8:13, 9:15).
We are therefore, not baptized or saved into an earthly priesthood, a theological teaching, a philosophy, a cultural religious body or a Church organization, but rather into the life and person of our resurrected High Priest, Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah, the Son of God (Heb 7:25). We live and walk in the truth of Messiah’s Priesthood taught to us by the original first century Apostles of Jesus Messiah.
As Believers in Messiah, being joined to Jesus Messiah defines us as Messiah Believers (not Messianic Believers). As Messiah Believers we learn to live and walk in the understanding of ‘Everything Messiah’, living a life joined to Jesus our Priest and King.
May the God of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Father of glory, give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him (Messiah) – Eph 1:17
Our Identity
Jesus Messiah, through the Holy Spirit given to Him, immerses us Into His name, bringing us to God the Father of Life, officially adopting us as sons of God. As Believers In Messiah we are now citizens of the Kingdom of Light. This is the seal of our inheritance, this is our Identity!
Principles of Faith
I believe in God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Covenant God of Israel, from Whom and to Whom are all things.
I believe that God, Who spake in sundry times and in divers manners in time past to the fathers through the Prophets, Who is from everlasting to everlasting, more wonderful in His perfection than all we can ever desire or know, promised to redeem the world from sin and death, and fill it with the glory of His light, in and through His Anointed, Who would be a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of His people Israel.

I believe that in the fullness of time God fulfilled His promise, and sent forth His Son, His everlasting Word, Jesus, Who was born, by the power of the Holy Spirit, of the Virgin Mary, of the seed of David, and in Him the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us as the Son of Man, full of grace and truth.
I believe that in Jesus the Messiah, it was for the Father’s good pleasure that, all the fullness of 1the power of deity, dwells in bodily form, and that He is the brightness of the Father’s glory and the very impress of His Person, and that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I believe that He was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification; and that by His Life, Death on the Cross, and glorious Resurrection, He has accomplished our reconciliation with the Father.
I believe that when He ascended into Heaven, the Messiah did not leave us comfortless, but, according to His promise, has sent us the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father through the Son, to be with us, to give us the assurance of forgiveness of sin, an ever clearer understanding of Himself, and to lead us into the fullness of truth, which is the more abundant life.
I believe that the Holy Spirit, Who raised up Jesus from the dead, and Who beareth witness with our spirits that we are sons of God, will also quicken our mortal bodies in the Resurrection.
I believe that the Church of the Messiah is the family of God in Heaven and on Earth, the Sanctuary of the redeemed, Jews and Gentiles, in which God dwells.
I believe that God did not cast off His ancient people, but that there is ever in the midst of them a remnant elected by Grace.
I believe that it is the will of the Lord, Who has graciously called us into the number of His Covenant people, that we should strive to be His witnesses among Jews and Gentiles, until His coming again in Glory.
