Congregation Zion's Sake is a Messianic congregation in Newport News, Virginia. Rabbi Eric Carlson founded it in May 2000 and serves as its shepherd. The name comes from Isaiah 62:1. Torah study meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:00. The Shabbat service begins on Friday evenings at 7:30.
The congregation understands its calling as being a light to the world and bringing God's plan of salvation to the ends of the earth. It shares Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, "to the Jew first, then the Nations," following Romans 1:16. One stated aim is to provoke the Jewish people to jealousy. Its core values are given simply as the whole of Scripture, Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21.
A native of Fairview, Pennsylvania, Eric Carlson retired from the United States Navy in 2003 after 22 years in the Submarine Force. He then entered full-time ministry. His wife, Barb, teaches Israeli and Messianic worship dance and leads the dance team Yachad. The team has traveled on outreach trips to Russia, Siberia and Ukraine. Dance practice is held every Friday at 6:50 pm. A praise and worship team draws musicians from several generations. Shabbat School teaches children the Word of the Lord. The congregation is affiliated with the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues and the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America.
