Shalom and Welcome to Beth Ohr Messianic Congregation! Beth Ohr, is Hebrew for “House of Light”. We are a Torah-Observant Messianic Congregation. We are a family integrated community and a multi-cultural and diverse congregation. Our goal is to be a light to the World (Romans 1:16) by teaching and living out His word. We encourage you to explore our site and take a look at everything we have to offer you and your family. We are confident that you will find Beth Ohr to be a place where you can experience Yhvh and truly get a better understanding of His Word from a Biblical perspective and not that of man’s. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We would love for you to join us for one of our Sabbath services. We pray that Yhvh would bless and keep you and may He guide your every footstep and lead you into His Truth and Righteousness.
OUR MISSION
To be a light to the World
VISION
GOAL
VALUES
Our vision is to see Jewish people come to recognize their Jewish Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiach; to see Christians come and discover the Hebraic roots of the faith and to see all Nations and Peoples be able to worship as Yhvh intended.
Our goal is to see Jew and Gentiles come together as One Body to worship YHVH. We want to raise up mature disciples in YHVH, whom will then in turn venture out and disciple others around them.
We are committed to making Yeshua the Master of our life, faith and ministry; to worship in Spirit and truth; praying together; making disciples; to love and serve one another; walking together in accountability; proclaiming The Good News; and serving others through Outreach.
Our Premise Statement: Who We Are
We are a Torah-Observant Congregation.We are a multi-cultural and diverse congregation. We come together to worship as One Body, for through Messiah Yeshua, there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile. We strive to live “Biblically Messianic” lifestyles, shadowing our Messiah Yeshua, and not “rabbinical traditions” or the traditions of man. We keep Shabbat (the Sabbath) and celebrate The Appointed Times of YHVH. We stand on the Word of YHVH alone as our guide, forsaking ALL Other extra-biblical texts.
We are a ministry dedicated to seeking, teaching and living out the truth of the Word. Our purpose is to seek and bring the truth to all nations, unlearn false doctrines and traditions of men, and to equip the body to live and practice the Word as God originally intended.
We find that continuously examining the Scriptures (in the same Hebraic first century context and perspective in which they were written and understood) reveals to His people much more understanding, as opposed to the more common Greek mindset that is a couple thousand years removed.
We firmly believe in testing all doctrine to His Word and only holding on to what is good. Any belief that may fail such a test (regardless of that particular doctrine’s origin or even its popularity) is systematically rejected. We seek to search the scriptures daily, in the same way Paul commended the Bereans in determining what was true. Through the leading and teaching of the Spirit we aim to bring truth to all nations, teaching them to obey everything He commanded. We recognize that this is not always easily done, and we welcome friendly and truth seeking engagement from fellow believers in His perfect Word, as we also believe iron sharpens iron. We expect to challenge you and also desire to be challenged-all under our unified desire to seek, understand, and apply His one and only Truth as revealed in His Word.
What makes us different from other Messianic or Hebraic Congregations
There are so many Churches, Fellowships and Congregations in the area, so what sets us apart? We are a Torah-Observant Congregation. We are a multi-cultural and diverse congregation. We come together to worship as One Body, for through Messiah Yeshua, there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile. We strive to live “Biblically Messianic” lifestyles, shadowing our Messiah Yeshua, and not “rabbinical traditions” or the traditions of man. We keep Shabbat (the Sabbath) and celebrate The Appointed Times of YHVH. We stand on the Word of YHVH alone as our guide, forsaking ALL Other extra-biblical texts. We do not adhere to nor teach The Talmud or traditions of man, nor do we practice Kabbalah. We believe that the beginning of the Biblical month starts with the dark covered moon and not the crescent moon, and we only observe the Feasts that God ordained.
