We believe that Yeshua, the promised Messiah has come...and is coming again as the scriptures promise! We believe in the Truth of all scriptures From Genesis to Revelation as the inerrant Word of the Lord, we Believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is indeed the Word made flesh and God incarnate.
We believe that both Jewish people and Gentiles (the nations) have the same opportunity to be grafted into the tree (Yeshua being the root). All based on Faith in the Messiah, allowing us to join together to enjoy the blessings of the Lord in His Word and through his Ruach ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit)!

Come visit and experience the love of God and the congregation in our home!
Rabbi Shulman was raised and instructed in a traditional observant Jewish home; this training and understanding of the Jewish foundation of the bible have been invaluable in sharing his faith in the Messiah to the Jew first and equally to the Gentile (Romans 1:16). His religious training prior to being a believer in Yeshua included many years of instruction including studying at Yeshiva Ohavi Zedek; he attended nights while earning a Bachelor degree from the University of Vermont. He earned a Masters degree in Theology from Northwestern Theological Seminary.
Rabbi Mark has been a believer in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) for over 26 years and has been involved in the Messianic Jewish movement for 25 years.

He is also an ordained chaplain through the UMJC (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations.) Rabbi Shulman currently serves the United States Air Force Auxiliary and holds the grade of Major.
