About Us

We are Apostolic Sabbath keepers and whole Bible believers. We believe that keeping the weekly Sabbath and the Feast Days of the Lord is walking in obedience to Yehovah. It is the path to holiness - to be holy as He is holy.
We aren't "Jewish." We are 1st Century Christians.
We are grafted into Israel.
When you join us, you'll have an experience like no other!
We have spirit-filled services and a close-knit congregation that's like family. We accept you as you are and help you grow in Yehovah.
If you're ready for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your Creator, we'd love to help you get there.

What to Expect

What are services like?
We are a house church so we're very laid back and relaxed. We are Apostolic Pentecostal so we are very demonstrative in our worship. We are also Torah Observant so we keep the biblical Sabbath and feast days. When you join us you will get whole Bible learning that will help you better understand scripture and deepen your relationship with Yehovah God.

What is the community like?
We are very friendly and loving. We believe in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you in your growth so that it changes you from the inside out. Yes, most of the women wear dresses and have long hair, but none of us started that way. That is evidence of what God did within us so we won't tell you to do as we do - because if you change to "fit in" or be like us, then you are changing for the wrong reasons. Just let Yeshua/Jesus work on you and grow you. He knows what He's doing. Our men wear long pants and have beards. But again, that isn't a requirement to join us. Come as you are!

What if I'm not a Christian?
All of the people in our congregation came to us from different walks of faith - including no faith at all. If you are a seeker, have never been to "church," or you're tired of the modern church and the direction it seems to be taking, you'll find us to be a refreshing change. We're like no church you've attended before! We are modeled after the Acts church, taking it back to the roots.


Leadership

CW Mayberry
Pastor

My wife and I began this journey some time around 2010. We came out of UPCI but felt there was more to the story than just a Holy Ghost experience. We believe in Acts 2:38 salvation and are both spirit-filled, but we realized that Yehovah was calling us to a deeper, more meaningful walk with Him. He said that if we love Him, we will obey Him. Obedience is foundational in a relationship with Him. And when He walked among us as Yeshua, He set the perfect example for our own walk. We are to follow that. 1 John 2:6 tells us that. So here we are. We keep the Sabbath just like Yeshua. We keep the feast days just like Yeshua. We believe that this life is something that must be walked out every moment of every day. It is a conscious choice to come out of the world and be one of His. We would love for you to join us.

    These are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! The Holy Spirit is definitely present in every service. The teaching is solid, all scripture. This isn't your typical Apostolic church and it isn't your typical Messianic church. It's completely different! We meet on the biblical Sabbath and begin with music and prayer, then the lesson, then we all eat together. After that everyone stays and talks. Nobody wants to leave because the atmosphere is so rich and welcoming. God is definitely there. This is the way it should be. They accept you just as you are and love you like family. The Mayberrys are excellent pastors, wise, knowledgeable, and supportive. They are great teachers too. If you are looking for a church that PRAYS, is spirit filled, keeps the Sabbath, keeps the feast days, and follows the Apostle's doctrine, THIS is the church for you!
