Beth Messiah Congregation

Beth Messiah is a Messianic Jewish congregation in Loveland, Ohio, in the Greater Cincinnati area. It also goes by Beth Messiah Synagogue. Every Saturday at 11:00 AM, the community gathers for its weekly Torah Service.

The congregation holds that Yeshua is the promised Jewish Messiah. His death provides a permanent kipporah, or atonement, for sin, and his coming will bring peace to the earth. Jews here embrace and strengthen their Jewish identity and heritage as believers in Yeshua. Non-Jews embrace Israel, prioritize a Jewish expression of their faith, and serve alongside Jewish believers. Together, Beth Messiah teaches, they have been made echad (one) in Messiah. Its mission rests on a lifestyle of faith called Biblical Judaism. The community seeks to reveal Yeshua first to the people of Israel and to stand with Israel against hatred.

Services blend traditional Jewish liturgy with what the congregation calls "Davidic Worship." Israeli dancing, clapping and raised hands are part of a typical service. Jewish holidays and festivals are celebrated, and families raise their children in a Messianic Jewish lifestyle. Rabbi Michael Wolf leads Beth Messiah. Raised in a traditional Jewish home, he came to faith in Messiah in his twenties. He is also an author and filmmaker. The congregation is a member of the International Alliance of the Messianic Congregations and Synagogues, connected with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America.
