The Mission

Emmanuel Messianic Jewish Congregation (EMJC) is part of the worldwide messianic community.  As such, our two-fold purpose is to (1) to provide a congregational community for Jews and non-Jews who have chosen to follow the teachings of Moses, the prophets of Israel, and Yeshua the Messiah and (2) to proclaim these teachings to all, “For I am not ashamed of the Good News, since it is God's powerful means of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting, to the Jew especially, but equally to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16) 

The Vision

The vision of Emmanuel Messianic Jewish Congregation is that all Messianic believers of all ages, races, nationalities and backgrounds, have enriched and blessed lives, following the Messiah. We also embrace non-Jews who want to draw closer to the God of Israel through fellowship with our people.

Why We Are-

To accomplish our mission we provide a spiritual home and congregational community for both Jews and Non-Jews.  There are many good churches, but few are committed to Judaism.  There are excellent synagogues, but few follow Yeshua the Messiah.  Therefore, we exist.
We also aim to educate Christians on the Jewish origins of their faith, as many Gentile believers wish to reconnect with these roots. We believe we are one in the Messiah and gladly share our knowledge, education and experiences with our brothers and sisters in Messiah.

About Us

Get to know more about what makes us different.

Shalom and Welcome to Emmanuel Messianic Jewish Congregation (EMJC)!  We are glad that you found us and are interested in getting to know us.  To understand who we are. It is helpful to consider the terms that make up our name.  This will help you appreciate what makes Emmanuel different from other congregations…

Emmanuel....

A Hebrew word meaning, “God is with us,” is the promise of the presence of God so central in our history as Jews.  “Emmanuel” is the word God used to tell the world that he would bring the Messiah through the Jewish people.  The promise given over 700 years before Yeshua’s birth, fulfilled at his birth, tells us that one would be born who would let us see that “God is with us.”

Messianic...

This means “of the Messiah.”  Since we believe Yeshua is the true Messiah, we honor him by referring to his title in our name.  Some Jewish people still await the Messiah’s coming; others don’t believe in the idea at all.  Nevertheless, throughout Jewish history our people have believed in the Messiah.  Because of the prophetic expectations that Yeshua fulfilled, we believe that he is the true Messiah, the one promised to our people, the one of whom Moses and the prophets spoke.

Jewish...

Our congregation expresses a Jewish life-style.  Our worship services reflect thousands of years of Jewish tradition and practice.  Our members all respect and revere the Torah, the document ratified by the Jewish people at the foot of Mt. Sinai.  Those who are intermarried find a warm welcome home here.  We provide biblical holiday services, such as Rosh Hashanah, Passover, Yom Kippur, as well as bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, Israeli-style dancing, etc. 

Congregation...

 A group of people who gather in order to praise and worship God, study his Word, and serve him as a community.  As a Messianic Jewish congregation, we have a love for God and his Messiah, Israel, the Jewish people, and the heritage that is ours either as Jews or “grafted-in” Gentiles.  We are a friendly family.
