Aren messianic synagogues just churches dressed up in Jewish window dressings?
Messianic congregations are legitimate synagogues. Our style of worship reflects both ancient and more contemporary Jewish traditions, but our Jewish-ness goes beyond the synagogue service. Just as important is our commitment to living Jewish lives rooted in the Torah. We celebrate all the Jewish holidays, not only in the congregation but in our homes. To us the synagogue is the most natural venue for expressing faith in the Jewish Messiah, as we seek to practice a biblical Judaism. We see our Judaism, not as merely a surface issue, but as a deep issue of identity, rooted in the covenant God made with Abraham thousands of years ago.
