Frequently Asked Questions

Son of David Messianic Fellowship was started in October 2016. We are passionate for our Savior and Redeemer, Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus) and His commandments (Torah). We live a lifestyle of discipleship, not only for ourselves in obedience to our Lord, but in imitation of the example of the Master, who loved and obeyed His Father and made disciples. This mission extends across all brackets of age, race, language and culture. The man from Nazareth, who thousands of years ago stretched out His hands and submitted willingly to death on a cross, changed the world forever. It is the lifelong goal of Son of David Messianic Fellowship to follow Him and to teach others to do the same.

No, not at all. Our fellowship is made up of people from many different backgrounds, both Jewish and non-Jewish, and everyone is welcome to worship with us.

The Savior welcomes everyone who places their faith in Him for salvation, regardless of Jewish or non-Jewish status. Further, the commandments of the Almighty were given to a mixed multitude (Exodus 12:38; Joshua 8:34-35) consisting of all 12 tribes of the nation of Israel, as well as Egyptians and other foreigners who chose to attach themselves to the people of YHVH.

Therefore, our identity does not rest in whether we are Jews or Gentiles, but in our relationship with the Messiah of Israel (Acts 15:19-21; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 11; Ephesians 2:11-13). Whether Messianic worship is new to you or you have been seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures, you are in good company, and we would love to walk alongside you as you grow in your faith.

Our worship is diverse and ranges from hymns to contemporary Christian to Messianic Jewish. We engage in corporate liturgy that is normally found in Torah-observant communities (the Shema, V’ahavta, Hinei Ma Tov, Eitz Chaim and the Aaronic blessing).

We also make room for open dialogue with the congregation. We learn and expound on Scripture together, making space for thoughtful questions, conversation, and deeper understanding.

Our Torah Talk is a discussion of the weekly Torah portion, where we dig deep into the Word and consider how its meaning shapes our walk with Yeshua.

On the third Saturday of each month we hold Spirit Shabbat instead, from 2–4 p.m., with no food served or fellowship time.

We have a Shabbat school class during the main teaching for children under 11. The children are dismissed when our communal praise and worship and liturgy is concluded.

This class is part of Kingdom Kids, our children's ministry. Our team of volunteers comes alongside each child as an extended family, teaching them who Adonai is, who they are in His Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and how to walk in a real relationship with Him. Along the way, the kids learn how to share and defend their faith, and are prepared for their next season in life, including our Nexus youth group.

Nexus is our youth ministry for ages 12 to 17. The group meets every other Sunday for food, fellowship, worship, prayer, and Bible study. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to join in.

We love our kids, and we would be glad to tell you more about Kingdom Kids or Nexus. Please give us a call at 623-499-2612, or simply introduce yourself on any Shabbat. We look forward to meeting your family!

We do not have a formal dress code. Whether this is your first visit or you have been with us for years, we want you to feel comfortable and at home. We do ask that everyone (men, women, and children) dress respectfully for the Sabbath day, as Shabbat is a set-apart time to honor the Lord.

For men, this may mean a suit and tie, or khakis and a polo. For women, it may mean a dress, or blue jeans and a blouse. You will see a range of styles on any given Shabbat, and there is no need to worry about getting it exactly right.

Whatever you decide, please remember that this day is about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and we can all practice approaching Him with our best! Above all, we are simply glad you are here, and we look forward to worshiping with you.
