Sar Shalom exists to be a light in our community, to reveal a lost Hebraic context of the gospels and apostolic writings, to restore the path of Torah to the people of G-d, to be a force for good in our region, and to proclaim liberty to those in spiritual captivity. To do this, we intend to bring complete and lasting transformation by making true disciples, strengthening families, and building community through the loving and compassionate expression of scriptural truth and faith in Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel, as evidenced by a consistent, Torah observant lifestyle.
We are called, by Yeshua, to make disciples not simply believers. A disciple is one who not only believes that Yeshua is L-rd but who makes Yeshua lord of their life. Our mission is therefore to train people to live a lifestyle of faith by becoming Torah observant. The Bible tells us that if we belong to the L-rd then we will prove it by obeying (implementing, observing, living-out) His commandments. (Ezekiel 11: 19-20, Matt. 7:21, Luke 6:46, John 10:27, 1 John 2:4) Sar Shalom’s mission is to encourage, train, and equip its members to become wholly devoted followers of Messiah.
It has been said that if all of the churches burned down then Christianity would be in trouble because its worship is focused around the church. However, if all of the synagogues burned down Judaism would not diminish because its worship is centered on the living room. Our living rooms should be the most sacred sanctuary and families should be the central focus of worship. Thus, our mission is to provide, resources, training and ministry that will strengthen the family unit. We are focused on equipping men to be the priest of their home, women to be an honored Proverbs 31 woman and children to be a joy and delight to their parents. If families are healthy then the synagogue is healthy. Sar Shalom is a ministry focused on strengthening families!
Faith in the Messiah must be personal but our faith, itself, is not! We are called to be a community of faith. When you join Messiah you join a people; a family. We are called to be a robust community, sharing together, rejoicing together, mourning together, working together and succeeding together. Messiah prayed in John 17:11 that we should be echad (one) even as He and the Father are echad. In these end days, building and maintaining community will be all the more important (Hebrews 10:25).
Belonging is a core need of the human heart. We recognize this reality and the divine call to unity. Sar Shalom’s mission is to strive to build and maintain a true community of believers. Our synagogue members belong to an extended family. When we come together for worship we are not just a group of individuals gathered for a service, we are a family coming together as one…even as Yeshua and the Father are one!
Chief among the areas of our mission is our call to proclaim Messiah Yeshua as healer, deliverer, savior, L-rd and King. Our mission is to proclaim Messiah to our city, our state, our nation and to the whole world. Everything that we do as a ministry must point to Yeshua Ha Mashiach.
Sar Shalom is called to proclaim Messiah and His way of life to Jew and Gentile, young and old, male and female. Our desire is to be “A house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 56:7). Lifting up Messiah and declaring Him alone as the path of salvation is the cornerstone of our mission.
