CORE BELIEFS

01YHWH Sent His Son to Save Us From our Sins

We believe YHWH, our Heavenly Father, sent His only begotten Son, Yahusha the Messiah (Jesus), to save His people from their sins. Yahusha was conceived through the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and willingly gave Himself as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. He rose from the grave on the third day, was glorified, and will return to reign over the earth in righteousness and truth.

02Salvation Is by Grace Through Faith

We believe salvation is the gift of YHWH, received by grace through faith in Yahusha. It cannot be earned through works, commandment keeping, heritage, or religious knowledge. True faith leads us to repentance, baptism in the name of Yahusha, and a transformed life. Obedience does not purchase salvation. It is the fruit of loving YHWH and trusting His ways.

03The Names of the Father and Son Matter

We believe it is a blessing to call upon the Hebrew names of our Father and His Son. Our preferred usage is:

• Yahuah (YHWH) for the Father
• Yahusha (or Yahshua) for the Messiah

We also respect pronunciations such as Yahweh, Yehovah, Yeshua, and Yahoshua, etc.

We do not believe that someone is unsaved or calling upon a false deity simply because they use traditional terms such as “God,” “Lord,” or “Jesus.” We use the names given in Scripture as an expression of love, honor, and relationship, not as a test of salvation.

04The Whole Bible is True and Relevant

We believe the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is inspired, trustworthy, and relevant for our lives today. The Torah, the Prophets, the Writings, the words of Yahusha, and the writings of the apostles form one consistent testimony. When understood in their proper context, the apostolic writings uphold faith in Yahusha and obedience to the commandments of YHWH.

We desire to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of YHWH.

05Torah Is YHWH’s Loving Instruction

We believe the commandments given through Moses remain enduring instructions for the people of YHWH. Torah teaches us how to love YHWH, love our neighbors, pursue justice and mercy, and live set-apart lives. We do not keep Torah to earn salvation. We seek to obey because we have been saved by grace and desire to live in a way that pleases our Father.

Scripture teaches that there is one law for the native-born and the stranger who joins himself to YHWH (Numbers 15:29). Through faith in Messiah, believers are grafted into the cultivated olive tree and brought near to the commonwealth of Israel (Romans 11; Ephesians 2:11–13).

06The Holy Spirit Leads Us in Truth

We believe the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) is the Spirit of YHWH, given to those who believe in Yahusha. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, empowers us with spiritual gifts, and enables us to walk according to the ways of YHWH (John 16:7–14; Ezekiel 36:26–27). We believe the gifts and work of the Holy Spirit remain active today and should produce lives marked by truth, obedience, love, humility, and good fruit.

07The Sabbath and Feast Days Are for Today

YHWH created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the seventh. We follow His example by setting apart the Sabbath from evening to evening as a time of rest, worship, fellowship, and delight in Him. The appointed times of YHWH teach His plan of redemption, testify of Yahusha, and keep our hearts focused on His coming Kingdom. We recognize that sincere believers may differ regarding calendars and certain details of observance, and we approach those differences with patience and grace.

08Worship and Music Are Spiritual Weapons

We believe music has an important place in worship, proclamation, remembrance, and spiritual warfare. Throughout Scripture, praise accompanied prophecy, deliverance, repentance, celebration, and battle. Spirit-led music carries truth into the heart, strengthens the body, proclaims the mighty works of YHWH, and gives believers a shared voice in worship. We desire to support musicians who honor YHWH, proclaim sound biblical truth, and use their gifts to awaken hearts, encourage repentance, and glorify His name through all genres.

09We Pursue Scriptural Unity

We believe the body of Messiah is called to unity, but unity does not require uniformity or the abandonment of truth. Among believers returning to the fullness of the Gospel, there are differences concerning calendars, pronunciations, traditions, cultural identity, and other secondary matters. We are called to pursue peace, extend grace, and repair breaches rather than widen them. Our desire is to remain firmly united in faith in Yahusha, obedience to YHWH, love for one another, and submission to Scripture.

10Yahusha Brings Healing and Restoration

We believe salvation through Yahusha brings complete forgiveness and redemption. We also believe He brings healing, deliverance, and freedom from the wounds, destructive patterns, and spiritual strongholds that continue to burden many lives. Through prayer, discipleship, truth, loving obedience, and the work of the Holy Spirit, the burdens of the past can be broken and lives can be restored. Our desire is to walk patiently with people through that process so they can mature in Messiah and bear lasting fruit for His Kingdom. Our heart is to walk with others through this process—through discipleship, prayer, and the love of Messiah—so that they may be fully restored and bear lasting fruit for His Kingdom.

11Biblical Families and the Next Generation Matter

We believe the family was established by YHWH and remains foundational to discipleship, community, and the future of the faith. We desire to see the hearts of fathers restored to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers (Malachi 4:6). We encourage fathers and mothers in their God-given responsibilities and seek to help families grow in biblical order, harmony, love, and faithfulness. Children and young adults need more than occasional instruction. They need examples, meaningful relationships, practical discipleship, and opportunities to discover and use the gifts YHWH has placed within them.

12We Are Called to Make Disciples

Discipleship is at the heart of the Great Commission. Yahusha instructed His followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe everything He commanded (Matthew 28:19–20). We believe men, women, and children are all called to grow in faith and be equipped to walk in obedience to YHWH. Through fellowship, mentorship, teaching, shared life, and intentional community, we seek to bear one another’s burdens and build one another up in love and truth so that we may mature in Messiah and walk faithfully in His ways.
