THREE WAYS TO CONNECT

Visitor Beit Lechem Messianic Congregation Church in Downey, CA

Those that walk through our doors or connect with us online, engage with us in one of three ways.

 

  • Visitor: People that show up from time to time or are curious.
  • Congregation: People that attend more regularly and are beginning to learn about Messianic Judaism with an open mind as well as begin to volunteer and support the ministry when they are able.
  • Core: People that are all in.

 

It’s important to know that, whether you consider yourself either a Congregation Member or a Core Member, you are a member of Beit Lechem Messianic Congregation. We love you and are committed to your growth. Our love and concern also extends to Visitors during whatever time we are blessed by their engagement.

 

To wear the “I’m Beit Lechem” pin, people identify as Core and are “all in” at Beit Lechem.

CORE DEFINED

People that are all in, means they are attending most Shabbats in person if they are local and online if they are not, frequently attend midrash in person or via Zoom, and are trying to master and live out Judaism and its theology along with trying to deal with Christian Doctrine in the context of Judaism.

They have also made a long-term commitment that Beit Lechem is their home congregation. This means that they have stopped shopping around for a congregation and are not attending an additional Sunday or Saturday congregation.

 

Also, as happens in any family, when there is a disagreement (whether theological or interpersonal), they are committed to sticking around and trying to understand and make peace with the disagreement with an open mind to other views and to also try to maintain the relationship.

 

And they are actively engaged in one or more of our ministries as a volunteer (not just as an attendee). The assumption is that they are also tithing or in some way financially supporting Beit Lechem.

 

And finally, they agree with and give their time to our Vision and Mission.

 

And with our Statement of Faith.
