Congregation Tree of Life calls itself a Messianic synagogue in Mobile, Alabama. Jews and non-Jews gather every Saturday at 10:30 AM for Shabbat service. Incorporated in 1992, the congregation belongs to the International Association of Messianic Congregations & Synagogues. Jack Morgan serves as Congregational Leader and Torah Teacher, a role he took on in 2007.
The community seeks to put the Messiah "back within His biblically Jewish context." It holds that being Jewish and believing in Yeshua are in harmony, with Torah observed from the heart. The congregation affirms the deity of Yeshua, His atoning death and resurrection, and salvation as a free gift for Jew and non-Jew. All believers, it teaches, should observe the Appointed Times of ADONAI even today.
Services combine traditional Jewish liturgy with contemporary Messianic music, Israeli circle dance and the sound of the shofar. Part of the service is in Hebrew, and nearly all of it is repeated in English. Torah Teachers follow the weekly portion through the annual cycle. After the service come Kiddush and a kosher oneg, where each family brings a dish to share. A Bible Study Hour follows from 1:00 to 2:30 PM.
