Beth Tephila Messianic Congregation

Beth Tephila Messianic Congregation gathers in Lolo, five minutes south of Missoula. Every Saturday the community meets for the Sabbath from 10:30 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon. A weekly Torah portion is shared when available.

The congregation holds that Jesus (Yeshua) is the promised Messiah of Israel, fully God and fully man. It reads both the Tanach and the Brit Chadasha as the inspired Word of God. Salvation, they teach, comes by God's grace through faith in Yeshua. Torah is understood not as a means of salvation but as "a revelation of God's moral principles." They study it with the rest of Scripture to learn how to live a godly life.

Beth Tephila affirms God's everlasting covenant with Israel. In the end times, it believes, all of Israel will turn to God and accept Yeshua as Messiah. Jews and Gentiles who trust in Yeshua are, in its understanding, united in one Body with Him as its Head. The congregation stands against anti-Semitism and racism in every form. It regards withholding the Gospel from the Jewish people as the worst form of anti-Semitism.
