Mission
A Spirit filled community who loves our Jewish people and partners with the church to bless and advocate for Israel.
shabbat School
Ohev Yisrael’s Shabbat School program aims to provide a strong spiritual foundation in scripture, utilizing Messianic Jewish curricula for children from ages three through eighth grade. We provide a warm, nurturing environment by a staff of caring teachers. Instruction in Jewish culture, tradition, and history, as well as a love for the land of Israel are also part of our program.
In addition, we provide classes in Hebrew, leading to Bar/Bat Mitzvah training.
bar/bat mitzvah Training
Bar & Bat Mitzvah training is offered in two parts. Pre-B’nei Mitzvah training begins in Ohev’s Shabbat School where Messianic Jewish education and discipleship are emphasized. When the prospective Bar/Bat Mitzvah approaches the traditional age of adult accountability, private tutoring is provided to prepare the boy or girl for his or her future participation in the congregation’s Torah service. This includes reading from the Torah scroll and delivering a d’rash that exposits the week’s parashah.
Worship
Our worship team brings men and women together who have a heart to praise our God and lift up the name of Yeshua through the musical gifts given to them by our heavenly Father. They worship Him in contemporary and traditional liturgical styles of song.
Shabbat Study
Shabbat Study occurs from 9:15 - 10:00 a.m. before Shabbat Morning Services. It focuses on Biblical and topical series and also the Parashat at varying times throughout the year.
YOUTH
Ohev’s youth meet every other week after services for fellowship, Bible study, discussion, and prayer. They also gather for events outside of Ohev, participate and serve in projects for the community, and serve in various capacities within the service.
VISITORS WELCOME
Ohev cares very much for our visitors. Our team is designed to make every one who enters into our building feel welcomed and loved. They make it a point to get to know those who come to our community. For those who express interest, the team will also do follow-up calls to continue conversation, answer any questions, and offer prayer.
Toddler Care
Toddler Care for 18 months to 4 year olds is available during Shabbat services. A good health policy governs a toddler’s admission to the program.
Discipleship/Mentoring
Discipleship is the process of learning the nature of God as exemplified in Yeshua, and moving toward becoming more like Him. Ohev members are helped in this pursuit through educational offerings, chavurah (small group) experiences, and private mentoring and counseling.
