Rosh Pinah Messianic Jewish Congregation

Rosh Pinah, Hebrew for "corner stone," is a Messianic congregation in North York, Ontario. It serves Jewish and non-Jewish people who seek to worship the God of Israel. The name comes from Ephesians 2:20, where Messiah Yeshua is the cornerstone. Shabbat services meet Saturday mornings at 10:30, in person and online through YouTube and Zoom. Rabbi Andrew leads the community.

Worship blends some traditional Jewish liturgy with Messianic Jewish and contemporary praise songs. Beyond the weekly service, the community gathers on Erev Shabbat and keeps the yearly appointed times, including Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot. Children learn the stories of the Bible in their original context. The fellowship also has a bowling alley.

Rosh Pinah holds that the Tenach and the Apostolic Writings are the inspired Word of God. Yeshua is affirmed as the only begotten Son of God, the Messiah of Israel and the Saviour of the world. The congregation believes in God's eternal covenant with national Israel and in Israel's restoration as a nation. It understands the Messianic Kehilla as one body of Jewish and Gentile believers. The gifts of the Ruach, it teaches, are operational today. Rosh Pinah is a member congregation of the IAMCS.
