Beth Messiah Messianic Synagogue

Congregation Beth Messiah is a Messianic synagogue in Houston that gathers every Saturday morning. The Shabbat worship service begins at 10:00, and Shabbat School follows at 10:55. Services are also streamed online for those who cannot attend in person. Rabbi John Ross and Rebbetzin Becky Ross lead the community.

The congregation exists so that Jewish people come to faith in Messiah Yeshua, with transformed lives "within Jewish culture and context." It holds that Yeshua is the Messiah, the Divine Son who became a true Israelite. Salvation, it teaches, is a gift received by faith in His atoning death and resurrection. Beth Messiah affirms that the calling of Israel is irrevocable and that all of God's promises to Israel remain valid.

The community understands the Messianic Jewish Synagogue and the Gentile Christian Church as two equal but not identical parts of one Body. Gentiles are described as spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham, grafted into a Jewish olive tree. Torah is taught as God's eternal Word, which sets the Jewish people apart. Jewish members are encouraged to embrace their heritage and resist assimilation. For Gentile believers, the guidance on Mosaic Law is "permitted but not required." Shabbat and the feasts of Leviticus 23, from Pesach through Sukkot, are part of the congregation's yearly life.
