Our vision

To lead people to salvation and teach the truth

Our church’s vision is to lead people to salvation and teach the truth, while sharing God’s love, compassion and hope with everyone.

Whoever you are, wherever you live and whatever you face, there is a place for you here.

Who we are

A small congregation in the town where Jesus grew up

There are roughly 225,000 to 230,000 Christians living across Israel and the Palestinian territories. They are some of the oldest Christian communities in the world.

Christians here are a minority of the minority. Yet our faith calls us to care for everyone, no matter where they live or what they face.

We are a growing congregation, and for now we gather in the pastor’s basement, because we do not yet have a church building of our own.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who lived, died and rose again. He is the carpenter of Nazareth whose name our church carries.
