United Messianic Jewish Alliance (UMJA)- Our Covering Organization

We are a congregation that believes in accountability to others of like mind outside of our immediate congregation. This provides not only accountability of Messianic leaders to other Messianic leaders, but also provides protection to the people of our individual congregations. Because of this need for accountability and protection, we have aligned ourselves with a new Messianic organization that is being formed called the United Messianic Jewish Alliance (UMJA).

What makes the UMJA unique?

The UMJA is a Messianic Jewish Organization that supports a Torah pursuant life for those believers in Yeshua who have either a Jewish or a Gentile origin. There is one Torah and one walk (1 John 2:1-6) for all believers in Yeshua. Yeshua did not walk a separate walk for Jewish believers and another for non-Jewish believers in Him. He commanded that we make talmidim (disciples) of all the nations teaching them to observe all that He commanded them (Matthew 28:19-20). Let's take Him literally, please!

The UMJA also upholds the Biblical standard of patriarchal leadership within it's organization and within it's chartered congregations. "This means that first and foremost we encourage men within the commonwealth of Israel (Jew and non-Jew) to take their rightful roles in Biblical leadership. When it comes to our eldership, our leadership, our Rabbis, and Pastors, we will insist that this be comprised of the male heads and priests of our believing households."
