Messianic Jewish congregations in North Carolina

Beit Shofarot Messianic Synagogue
Concord, NCBeit Shofarot Messianic Synagogue gathers in Concord, North Carolina, every Shabbat at 10:30 in the morning. The name means "House of Shofars," and services open with the sound of the shofar. Liturgy is in Hebrew and Aramaic with English translation, and Spanish is spoken. Founded in 2009 as a twice-monthly Jewish Roots group in Salisbury, it became a full-time Shabbat congregation in April 2010. The congregation now owns its own building. Beit Shofarot describes itself as a Messianic Jewish synagogue and states plainly that it is not Two House or Hebrew Roots. Salvation, it holds, comes through repentance and acknowledgment of Yeshua as the Son of G-d. Following the Torah is understood as the way of living out that faith rather than its source. The community speaks of G-d as a Triunity, stressing His single, unified essence. Jewish and non-Jewish believers worship together, and ritual conversion is not practiced. Its mission reaches "first to the Jew and then the non-Jew," and it also teaches churches about the Jewish roots of the faith. Rabbi Yossi Wentz has served as senior rabbi since 2009, with Rabbi Tzali Martin as associate rabbi. After the morning Shacharit service comes an oneg, a shared meal kept kosher by biblical standards. A nursery, children's and teen classes, Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation, Pictograph Hebrew, Interactive Midrash and Israeli dance are offered.IAMCSMJAA

Shabbat services meet Saturdays at 10am, in person and by livestream. Rabbi Jeff Lerman, prayer leaders and a musical ensemble lead worship.

Israeli-style folk dance is part of worship. A light oneg follows. The community understands Messianic Judaism as a movement of Jewish congregations committed to Yeshua and to Jewish life rooted in Torah. That life is expressed in tradition and renewed in the New Covenant. Seven pillars shape community life, among them Torah study, worship, sharing good news and standing with the people of Israel. On Shabbat, a nursery serves children up to age 3. During the academic year, children ages 4 to 11 are dismissed partway through the service for Jr. Shabbat. Twice a year the congregation holds a Mitzvah Day to care for its facilities and grounds.UMJC
Hope of Israel Congregation
Charlotte, NCHope of Israel Congregation in south Charlotte is a community of Jewish and Gentile believers who worship Yeshua as Israel's one and only Messiah. Its stated aim is to raise up Messianic disciples who serve as witnesses to Israel. Sam Nadler is congregational leader and an elder. He also teaches and mentors congregation planters through Word of Messiah Ministries. Shabbat begins at 9:30 on Saturday morning with Shabbat School for children, teens, the sisterhood and the brotherhood. The worship service follows at 10:30 and runs about 90 minutes, and it is streamed online. Afterward everyone stays for oneg, with bagels and coffee. First-time guests can ask for a free packet that explains the service and its Hebrew terms. On Tuesday evenings at 7:00 there is a midweek study and a ladies' Bible study. The congregation takes its calling from Romans: Jewish believers bear witness to God's faithfulness to His covenant, and Gentile believers are to provoke Israel to jealousy. It holds that God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is irrevocable and unconditional, and that Gentile believers are grafted into the Jewish olive tree. Shabbat and the festivals are kept freely, as an expression of identity and never as a means of salvation. The good news goes to the Jewish people first. David Taylor serves as chazan and elder, and Michael Kovalev, also an elder, leads discipleship. Miriam Nadler leads the sisterhood. Other ministries include children's and NextGen youth groups, young adults, outreach, dance and prayer.
