What is messianism?/What is a Messianic Congregation?
"Messianic congregations are a recent phenomenon on the pages of ecclesiastical history, but they have a heritage that extends back to the earliest period of the New Covenant faith. . . . Messianic congregations are part of the ecclesia [a Greek word meaning "called out ones," referring to the gathering together of believers in the Messiah]. However, they refer to themselves as congregations or synagogues to reflect and communicate the Jewishness of the Messianic faith to a people [the Jews] who have mistakenly come to associate belief in Jesus the Messiah with anti-Semitism."

Mission Statement
Beth Shalom congregation is committed to providing a worship environment that focuses on Yeshua HaMashiach as our L-rd and Savior; to celebrating in worship which includes Jewish liturgy, messianic song and dance, exposition of the scriptures of both the Tanakh and the Brit Hadasha, and appropriate expression of the gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh; to equipping both Jewish and gentile believers in walking in a messianic lifestyle as led by the Ruach HaKodesh; to promoting unity in the Body of Yeshua by teaching and modeling the principles of the Brit Hadasha as illustrated in the Tanakh; and to fulfilling prophecy by bringing Jews and gentiles together, grafted into the one vine, Yeshua.

The Covenant Statement of Faith
While we believe that life-style is more important than creed, Beth Shalom affirms the following fundamental statements of faith. We realize the need for unity of belief in the fundamentals, but recognize liberty in those areas which are important, but are not central to faith.
1.    We believe that the Bible, both the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of G-d (Ex 24:4-8; 2Tim 3:16-17).
2.    We believe in one G-d as He has revealed Himself in the Bible and that the meaning of the word one in the Hebrew language (echad) refers to G-d as a compound unity (Deut 6:4; Mark 12:28-30; Eph 4:3-6)/
3.    We believe Yeshua (Jesus) was born of a virgin, is the only begotten Son of G-d, the Messiah, the Eternal One in whom all the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form and who is the Word (TORAH) who became flesh and dwelt among us as Savior, L-rd, Redeemer of mankind and soon-coming King (John 1:1-14; Col 2:9; Ps 2; Heb 1:1-2).
4.    We believe that the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) indwells all true Believers and will comfort, teach, lead, and empower those who obey and walk with Him (Zech 4;6; John 14:15-17, 25-26; Eph 5:26).
5.    We believe that all have sinned and need to be redeemed. This salvation-redemption is by G-d's grace and cannot be earned by human merit. We are redeemed in our personal lives by faith in Yeshua's sacrificial death and resurrection, which provides complete atonement for all who commit their life to Him. True saving faith will be evidenced by the fruit of G-d's Spirit and works of covenantal love (Deut 7:9; Ps 51:1-2; Romans 1:16-17; 3:21-26; Eph 2:8-9).
6.    We believe in the continuity of G-d's covenant with the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and that part of the fulfillment of the covenant is the physical return of the people of Israel to the Promised Land as spoken by the prophets. We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Messiah (Eph 2:11-22).
7.    We believe in the literal, physical return of Messiah to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem (Ps 2; 2Sam 7:12-13, 16; Zech 14; Acts 1:11; Rev 19-20).
8.    We believe in the resurrection and judgment of the righteous to eternal life and the wicked to eternal separation from G-d (Dan 12:1-3; Matt 25:31-46; 2Cor 5:10; Heb 9:27; 1Cor 15; Rev 20-21).
Beth Shalom Statement of Practice

Members of Beth Shalom endeavor to do the following:
1.    Love G-d with our whole hearts and love our neighbors as ourselves (Deut 6:4; Lev 19:18, 34; Matt 22:37-40; 5:43-45; Gal 5:14).
2.    Teach sound biblical doctrines (Ps 15:2; Eph 4:15).
3.    Live a life characterized by integrity, ethical behavior, and morality (Ps 25:21; Prov 11:20; Matt 5-7).
4.    Be an example of godly character (Micah 6:8; 1Tim 4:12; Gal 5:16-23).
5.    Support the Jewish people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their eternal possession of the land of Israel by blessing the nation and people of Israel and praying for the peace of Jerusalem (Gen 12:3; Is 40:1; Ps 122:6; Romans 9:11).
This statement of faith is not only that of Beth Shalom and Man Hu Ministries but also of the Association of Jewish and Christian Believers, as we share a common goal of showing the continuity and relevance of the written word of G-d.
