What we believe

A Messianic community of His redemptive love, healing, and reconciliation.

Psalm 147:3

We believe Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel, that the Scriptures are our full and final authority, and that Jewish identity is not set aside in Him but fulfilled. Our full statement of faith is written out plainly, and we would rather you read it than guess.

Who leads us

Meet Jeff and Kathy Kipp.

Since 1981 Pastor Jeff and Kathy have been involved in planting and leading three Messianic congregations. In March 2005 their third, Congregation Yeshua Ben David, was established.

Jeff was born in Brooklyn, NY. As a long-haired Jewish hippy searching for answers during the turbulent times of the 60’s and early 70’s he was introduced to Dr. Michael Silverburg, a fellow Jew who eventually led him to receive Jesus (Yeshua) as his Messiah. Nine months later he ended up at Lighthouse Ranch in Northern California, a Christian community called Gospel Outreach. It was there that God revealed His plans and purposes for his life.

קהילה Our community

Jewish and Gentile, and glad to be together.

Shabbat mornings, Purim in costume, the shofar at the Feasts, children underfoot. This is who you would be joining.

צדקה Tzedakah

Righteous giving, freely offered.

Tzedakah is not charity so much as doing what is right. Every gift supports the congregation, our outreach, and the people we are able to help because of it. Give if and as you are able.
