OUR BELIEFS

Our beliefs are rooted in the teachings of the Original Faith called the "Nazarene" which is connected to Yeshua HaMashiach. Being a follower of the Nazarene means embracing a journey grounded in humility, transformation, and a deep historical connection. Choosing to be part of this community is choosing to follow the path of Yeshua. The first followers of Yeshua were known as the "sect of the Nazarenes." In adopting this identity today, you move beyond the complexities of institutional structures and return to the fundamental, passionate devotion of the apostles. It’s a conscious decision to root your faith in the original movement that profoundly impacted the ancient world.

In Hebrew, the term Nazarene (Notzri) is connected to the word Netzer, which translates to "branch" or "shoot." This has significant prophetic implications from Isaiah 11:1, which states, "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch (Netzer) from his roots shall bear fruit." By identifying as Nazarenes, we are expressing that they are the fruitful "branches" directly linked to Yeshua, the ultimate True Branch.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Elohim as the waters cover the sea. And on that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand as an ensign to the peoples; to him shall the Gentiles seek; and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day that the Yahweh shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people which are left from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Ethiopia and from Elam and from Seir and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be destroyed; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not oppress Ephraim. - Isaiah 11:1-13
