ARTICLE 3: "HEBREW ROOTS, CHRISTIAN FRUITS: OUR UNIQUE IDENTITY"

As a messianic community, 21st Century Church of Christ embraces both our Hebrew roots and Christian heritage. This distinctive identity shapes everything from our worship practices to our theological understanding.Sabbath ObservanceOur Saturday services honor the biblical Sabbath, recognizing it as a gift from God and a sign between Him and His people. We gather at 11:00 AM each Sabbath to worship, study Scripture, and fellowship together.Hebrew TraditionsElements of Hebrew tradition enrich our community life, including modest dress, head coverings for women during worship, and study of Hebrew Scripture. These practices connect us to the historical context of our faith while honoring God's instructions.Messianic FocusAt the center of our identity stands Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah and Savior of the world. We recognize Him as the fulfillment of Hebrew prophecy and the head of the church.Our Heritage & Hope Saturdays provide opportunities to explore these aspects of our identity through a four-week cycle of teaching on Hebrew traditions, cultural music, ministry integration, and community fellowship.New to our congregation? Join us for an upcoming Heritage & Hope Saturday to learn more about our unique approach to faith and community. All are welcome!
