Statement of Beliefs
The Word and The Way is an assembly that studies the Hebraic Word once delivered to the saints. What this means is that we strive to study the Bible in the same perspective as those who received the Gospel in the first century AD, i.e., the Saints. The first century believers who accepted Yeshua as the prophesied Messiah and the Son of YHVH became adopted children of YHVH and heirs according to the promise. Accepting Yeshua as Messiah means to join Israel by being grafted in and, just as the first century believers, study the Torah and apply it to our lives. We observe the Biblical holidays listed in Leviticus 23 starting with the weekly Sabbath that was instituted on the 7th day of creation and then by having or attending annual gatherings for the rest of God’s Holy Days. In all things, we strive to understand the Word of God as shown to us by His Son, apply it to our lives, and to live as Yeshua did as we anxiously await His return and the restoration of all things.
The following are some commonly held beliefs of our assembly.
