Temple New Jerusalem

Temple New Jerusalem is a Messianic synagogue in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It gathers every Saturday at 10:30 AM for Shabbat, and the service is also livestreamed. Rabbi Michael Stepakoff leads the congregation, which is affiliated with the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues (IAMCS).

Jewish and non-Jewish people worship together here. They believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah and that he came for all people. Non-Jewish members are described as "grafted into an olive tree with Jewish roots." The community understands a messianic synagogue as a house of prayer for Jew and Gentile alike, and interfaith couples are welcome.

The Shabbat service blends traditional synagogue worship with modern Messianic praise. Prayers come from the siddur. The Torah is processed with rejoicing, and the weekly parsha is read in Hebrew and translated into English. Davidic dance is open to anyone and entirely optional. The rabbi's message draws on both the Old and the New Testaments. Kiddush and Hamotzi follow, then an oneg with food and fellowship. Jewish holidays and the biblical feasts are celebrated through the year. The congregation also has chavurah groups, men's, women's and singles' groups, and children's and teen programs. There is no dress code.
