WE BELIEVE:
1. We believe in the one true God, יהוה. The God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob.
2. We believe the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, infallible, unfailing word.
3. We believe that God sent His son, Yeshua (Jesus), into the world to redeem us back unto Himself. We believe in the Deity of Yeshua/Jesus. 4. We believe the only path back to God is through Yeshua (Jesus) as the door. 5. We believe that Yeshua (Jesus) came into the world to fulfill the law and serve as our example.
6. We believe that believers follow the God’s Instructions/Laws BECAUSE they are believers; NOT in order to be saved.
7. We believe all born-again believers are heirs according to the promise; grafted into Israel.
8. We believe the 7th-day Sabbath is a sign between God and His people and should be observed.
9. We believe the Feasts and Festivals found in Leviticus 23 are appointed times to meet with and worship our creator, God, and King.
10. We believe in the local assembly and that all believers should be active in one.
11. We believe in the unity of the body and that all believers should strive to dwell together in unity and work together for the Kingdom.
12. We believe the only romantic relationships and marriages that God has ordained are between a natural born male and a natural born female.
13. We believe that God created male and female; and however He created you in your mother’s womb is the gender you are and are to be for life..
WE REFUSE TO:
1. Argue about the name of God. This is up to the individual believer’s study-based conviction. As an organization, we will intentionally and interchangeably use God, Yahweh, Yehovah, Yah, Jesus, Yehshua, and Yashua; but respect others using what they feel led to use.
2. Argue about the calendar. There are so many different calendars out there. This is a subject we leave up to the believer, family, and local congregation.
3. Argue about dietary laws. We do not keep “kosher” as an organization. We keep biblically clean. Any additional dietary preferences, convictions, and needs, are up to the individual.
4. Limit the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Kodesh). All gifts of the Spirit that Abba wants to use are welcome.

Jason - My testimony started at a young age. When I was born, the doctor injured me, causing me to have brain damage, due to negligence. These action caused me to be born with Cerebral Palsy. I lived with this condition until I was about 2 years old. At 2 years I was completely healed by Yahweh, and according to the doctors I was labeled a modern-day Miracle. I know this miracle should not be taken lightly. It was a gift from Him, to show and prove that Yahweh exists and still heals today! Jehovah Rapha!We each have been given a Testimony of what He has done in our life's. This was just the start of my story. Even with such amazing start to my life I still needed my heart to be healed from my brokenness and sin. Today, I continue to be refined daily to look more like His Image.
Tricia - I grew up in the Christian church, but my faith became real in 1998. I was a prime example of how people claim to be a believer but never know Him. My childhood was filled with bad choices and sin, but Yahweh has proved that He never gave up on me and made me whole.
My heart breaks for youth who are lost and broken and needing to be restored to the Father.
