Messianic Jewish congregation · Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Beth Shechinah House of Glory is a Messianic congregation in Calgary, Alberta, planted in 1994. Jewish and non-Jewish believers gather every Shabbat, with prayer at 9:30 and the service at 10:30 on Saturday morning. The congregation describes itself as "loyal to Jewish heritage and true to New Covenant faith." It has met in its own building since 2010.
Worship mixes modern and traditional Jewish music with dancing. During the Torah service the scroll is carried around the sanctuary, with the children following behind. Torah is read in Hebrew and English, and teaching comes from the rabbi or guest speakers. A Shabbat school serves the children.
Beth Shechinah affirms the deity of Yeshua and holds that Israel remains God's chosen people, never replaced by the Church. It teaches that Jewish followers of Yeshua are called to maintain their Jewish Biblical heritage. Jewish and non-Jewish believers, the congregation believes, have been grafted together as one new man. Torah is understood as God's gift to Israel, with practical instruction for Jewish and Gentile believers alike. The congregation rejects One Law, Sacred Name and Two-House theology, as well as the Hebrew Roots movement. Beyond Shabbat, the community offers Hebrew lessons and home life groups, and has held Passover Seders and Sukkot and Shavuot gatherings. It also leads tour groups to Israel each year.
