Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we are Israelite followers of Christ. We consider ourselves 'ancient Christians' in the way we follow Christ's teachings in the way he taught it.

Yes, we are family driven. Our teaching environment is inclusive from ages 7 years old and up. We are all being taught the same message in a way everyone can digest.

No, we are not a camp. There are generally 3 types of groups: camps, congregations, and fellowships. We are a fellowship. Camps are more militaristic and "brotherhood" driven. Congregations are more like traditional modern churches in their organizations, and fellowships tend to be more "loose" in their organization and style, open to more of a unity amongst them all. We have order, being flexible with minor things and rigid with major things. Also, fellowships tend to meet in homes, we do as well.

Our mission is to build leaders, build marriages, build families, keep Torah and follow Christ. If it doesn't fit in any of these categories, nor add value to any of the first 3 categories, we won't teach it. What does it matter to know deep things of God if you haven't mastered the basics?

Our process is simple: Apply, interview, Join. Our application process is as easy as filling out a simple form. Once submitted, you will interview with one of our core members to connect with you and your heart. We also want to ensure you agree with the key important items (for example: Family is led by men). If there are some contentions, it's okay. We will still be brothers and sisters, but this fellowship may not be for you. It's not for everyone. But if we do agree on the major points, then you will get a link to our group chat and will be warmly greeted with "Welcome to the Fellowship!"

No. You will join us via Zoom every Sabbath day. And we do meet in person for the feast days and other fun events. If you can't make the feast days in person, no problem, you can still join us via Zoom. And if you miss a Sabbath day, not a problem, you can catch up by watching the recording. We understand life happens.

Yes, we all keep Torah AS CHRIST DID. This is how we follow Christ, by keeping Torah sincerely as he taught (Matt 23:1-3). Keeping Torah doesn't make us righteous, but it does prove that we love our Christ and our Heavenly Father (1 John 5:3).

No. Tithes were only supposed to be paid to the Levites (Numbers 18:21, 24). We may collect funds for feast days and events. We also provide a breakdown of expenses to the group so all is transparent.

We would love you to, but no, it's not mandatory that you travel to keep the feast days with us. However, on the topic of actually keeping the feast days, yes, you should absolutely keep them as part of keeping Torah (Exodus 12:14).

We call him Yahawahshi, using the paleo Hebrew. But we still welcome brothers and sisters who call him Jesus, Christ, Messiah, Yahusha, etc. Our stance is this: we are all trying to follow that SAME person, regardless of the name we use. Let's follow him sincerely. That's the point.

We keep the Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, every seventh day (Exo 20:10). Our Sabbath meetings are around 6pm EST every Sabbath. We understand that we have brothers and sisters that keep a different Sabbath (Lunar Sabbath Keepers) which we have no issues with as long as you are keeping the Sabbath sincerely.

It's okay. There has always been a diversity of thought on doctrines. We want to major in the major things and minor in the minor things. We are rigid on keeping Torah and following Christ. Everything outside of this we are okay with exploring, discussing, and even having a difference of opinion.

Our view on marriage is that husbands should lead as the expression of Christ in their home. And wives should submit as the expression of the church in their home. The husband is submitted to Christ and should be the reflection of his Lord, as the wife should be submitted to her husband and be an excellent reflection of her Lord (1 Corinthians 11:3). If you aren't there yet, it's okay, we teach on these topics to help you get there. Our main teacher wrote a book on this which can be found here: www.leadandsubmit.com

The marriage should be healthy with the man leading. This provides a secure foundation and example for the children. The children should be willfully obedient to their parents with excellent attitudes (Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-3). And parents should not only be providers, but mentors and guides to their children (Deut 6:6-7, Psalm 78:5-6, Proverbs 22:6).If you aren't there yet, it's okay, we teach on these topics to help you get there.

Men are the ultimate leaders of the household and society. Women can be leaders too, over one another and children, but not over men. Leadership is about the willingness to take responsibility, ownership, be accountable, be the example, and service (1 Timothy 3:1-5). If this example is modeled in a marriage or home, it's contagious. But if you aren't there yet, it's okay, we teach on these topics to help you get there.

Yes! We believe in the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament. With the Old Testament being the firm foundation for all of it.

No. However, we love our brothers and sisters who do this, but we are focused on building our people in a slightly different way. There are multiple ways to serve the Lord.

No. You will never hear us teach to hate anything but sin and perpetual sinners as God does (Psalms 5:4-5). Although scripture does teach us that God will destroy his enemies and the enemies of his people Israel (Deut 30:7), and not to trust our enemies (those who despise/hate us), which we find to be wise advice (Sirach 12:10-12)--Our main focus is on putting that energy towards loving our brother and sister (Lev 19:18) and being a light/good example to everyone else around us.

Salvation is only for Israel, as the LORD will come to save them (Jeremiah 10:30). The law was kept by the disciples (1 John 5:3), Paul (Act 24:14), and Christ (Matthew 5:17-18), so we keep it as well. Breaking the law is sin (1 John 3:4), and we can't expect acceptance from God if we knowingly sin (Hebrew 10:26-27). And Christ gave us grace by dying for his people, giving his people the ability to repent (Act 5:30-31).

We don't see Christ returning to save any other nation but Israel in prophecy (Jerimiah 30:10-11). But we do believe that the other nations will learn righteousness from the Israelites, so they might well start now (Isaiah 2:2-3).

No problem at all! You can catch up by watching the recording. We understand that life happens and we want to make sure you don't fall behind in your learning journey.
