3. The Hebrew Scriptures: We uphold the Hebrew Scripture of Torah as divinely inspired, authoritative, and relevant to all believers. These Scriptures reveal God’s covenant with Israel, His laws, and His promises, which are fulfilled in the Messiah Yeshua.
3. The Messiah Yeshua: We affirm that Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth is the promised Messiah of Israel, the Son of God, and the Savior of humanity. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection. Through His death and resurrection, He has provided redemption and eternal life to all who trust in Him.

6. The Great Commission: We are dedicated to sharing the message of Yeshua as the Messiah with all people, Jew and Gentile alike. We are called to proclaim the Good News of salvation, make disciples, and live out our faith through acts of love, justice, and service.
7. The Community of Believers: We believe in the importance of communal worship, fellowship, and support among believers. The congregation is a family of faith, united by our common belief in growing together in holiness and love.

9. The Use of Sacred Plant Sacraments: We recognize the use of sacred plant sacraments, such as peyote or other plants, fungi and natural substances traditionally used in spiritual practices, as a means of deepening our spiritual connection and understanding. These sacraments are used with reverence and in accordance with our faith, seeking to enhance our communion with God and to facilitate spiritual experiences that align with biblical teachings.
