CONGREGATION OF THE ORCHARD
"KEHILAT HA KEREM"We believe that traditional expressions of prayer can deepen our intimacy with our Creator and expand our knowledge and awareness of Him. Through the sacrifice of Yeshua, God’s Messiah, and with the strength of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit), we strive to love Adonai with all our hearts, minds, and souls, while also seeking to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Jews and Gentiles One in Messiah
Creation Redemption Restoration
CONGREGATION OF THE ORCHARD is dedicated to the unity of the Holy Scriptures, spanning from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. As a united body, we seek to worship the Living G-d with unwavering spirit and unyielding devotion. Guided by the sacred teachings of G-d’s Word, we order our services and lead our lives with utmost reverence.
Our congregation of New Covenant Believers strives to emulate the path of Jesus (Yeshua), wholeheartedly loving Adonai our G-d and treating our neighbors as we would ourselves.
