MESSIANIC JUDAISM:
AN INTER-FAITH ALTERNATIVE

Jewish/Christian inter-faith marriage is typically a complex problem. Where do you get married? Who will officiate the service? Will the kids be considered Jewish or not? Will you celebrate Hannukah or Christmas? Easter or Passover? Will you have a bris or a christening? Bar Mitzvah or baptism? Whose parents do you please? These and many other issues become hot topics around the home every holiday season and also during significant stages of life.

While some inter-faith couples pick one religion or the other, many choose to have little or no religion at all. But is there another solution to this dilemma? We believe so!

For many “inter-faith” couples, Messianic Judaism has brought unity to their homes. Affirming the New Testament as well as Jewish life and practice, Messianic Judaism is a revival of the beliefs and practices of those ancient Jewish people who followed Jesus as Messiah but stayed part of the Jewish communities.

In the Messianic community families receive instruction in both Torah and Besorah (Gospel), Moses and Messiah. Services are in Hebrew and English, and incorporate both traditional Hebrew liturgy and contemporary worship music. Joyful dance and corporate celebration of the Jewish holidays, accompanied by rich teaching from God’s Word and great fellowship all make the Messianic Jewish alternative an inviting opportunity.

Inter-faith couples know what its like to have their feet in two worlds. So do we. If Messianic Judaism sounds like the alternative you’re looking for, come check us out. Visitors are always welcome.
