Association of Messianic Congregations Conference

The 2007 Leadership Conference for the Association of Messianic Congregations (AMC) convened July 16, 17, and 18 in Hampton, Virginia. Congregational leaders came from all over the United States and England to worship and draw near to God. The theme was “Shepherding in Messiah’s Love.” They gathered together to learn how to build healthy congregations, and to proclaim G-d’s faithfulness to the Jewish people and all the nations of the world. After 3 days everyone left well fed both physically and spiritually, well armed to enrich their home congregations. G-d’s Spirit was truly evident and love and fellowship abounded.

About Us

B’nai Avraham Messianic Fellowship is a place where Jews and Gentiles can worship the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), within a Jewish context. We proclaim that Am Yisrael Chai B’Yeshua HaMoshiach, “The people of Israel live in Jesus the Messiah.”

In Genesis 12:2-3, G-d promises that He would make Abraham a great nation and through Abraham all the nations of the earth would be blessed. This promise of G-d’s blessing includes not only his physical descendents, the Jewish people, but all the other people groups (i.e., gentiles). Today, most congregations that believe in Yeshua are predominantly gentile and the cultural context is, at times, not comfortable for Jewish believers who want to express their faith in the Messiah within a Jewish context.

Come join us! Celebrate the biblical Holy Days in a messianic frame of reference, and learn about scripture from a messianic perspective. This is a place where Jewish, Gentile, intermarried, or the curious, can feel welcomed, enjoy interesting people and learn more about G-d.

We are affiliated with the Association of Messianic Congregations.
