Children of Jacob Messianic Synagogue

Children of Jacob Messianic Synagogue is a Messianic congregation in Springfield, Missouri. Its purpose is to bless any Jewish person, anywhere in the world, in any way possible. The community aims to be a safe haven where Jewish people can learn about their Messiah. Gentile believers are offered a place to discover the roots of their faith.

At the center of its teaching is a Biblical love for Israel and an understanding of what the congregation calls "our debt to Israel." It confesses Jesus/Y'shua as the Messiah and King of the Jews, the one true hope of Jacob's children.

The rabbi emeritus is Messianic Rabbi Jeff Friedman, who serves alongside his wife, Vixie. They began working among Jewish people in 1989. For 16 years they nurtured a Messianic Jewish congregation they planted in Philadelphia. In 2009 the Friedmans expanded their work to Jewish communities worldwide. Since then they have offered humanitarian and medical aid in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Ethiopia, Turkey and Israel. Children of Jacob also operates as an international ministry to Jewish people around the world.
