welcome to tikvat yisrael's youth group ages 13-18


"THE UPPER ROOM"


"As Messianic youth we passionately follow Yeshua and challenge worldly lifestyles

while sharing our passion with others."

If you aren’t familiar with Messianic Judaism, then welcome, and if you are, welcome as well! We are a biblically based community of Jewish and non-Jewish believers committed to faith in the Jewish messiah-Yeshua (Jesus), of whom the torah of Moses and the prophets spoke. We follow a messianic lifestyle as taught by the apostles, celebrate the feasts of Israel, and observe other Jewish traditions. We teach that Jewish people who believe in Yeshua remain Jewish, while non-Jewish believers may practice Jewish customs and holidays without the requirement to become Jewish.


THE UPPPER ROOM MEETS BI-WEEKLY AFTER SHABBAT SERVICES, FOR FOOD, FUN ACTIVITIES AND A SPIRITUAL LESSON. ALL STUDENTS AGES 13-18 ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE - PARENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO STAY AS WELL.


See the calendar for the next meeting date/time.
