WHO WE ARE...
CORE PEACEABLE
We confess there is one true El—YHVH—and His Son, Yahushua. Everything we are and do flows from this living reality.
Scriptural Foundation
Every conversation, decision, and heartbeat here is tethered to the ancient lifeline of the Tenack: Torah, Nevi’im, and Ketuvim. Like a ship guided by stars, we chart our course by these writings—allowing even Messianic works to stand in harmony with the first three. No deviation. No shortcuts. Just the steady rhythm of Scripture shaping our every step.
Unity in Diversity
We’re a mosaic of stories—wanderers, seekers, skeptics, and saints—yet we coalesce around the Creator’s blueprint. Different backgrounds aren’t hurdles but brushstrokes in a grand tapestry. We celebrate our varied journeys, yet we march in step, shoulder to shoulder, under the banner of YHVH’s revealed will.
Love and Humility
Our default setting is love—a love unearned, unending, unapologetic. We speak kindness, extend grace, and bow our egos at the foot of the throne. Humility isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom wrapped in gentleness. In every exchange, whether in laughter or debate, we mirror the heart of the One True EL
WHAT WE DO
We dive in—
Joining discussions, Bible studies, Calendar Studies, and worship gatherings. Every question sharpened, every insight shared, builds the tapestry of our fellowship.
Support and Accountability
We walk alongside one another, uplifting those who stumble and celebrating each victory. Open to correction and guided by Scripture, we hold one another in love, forging maturity through mutual encouragement.
Understanding Tithing
We honor the ancient rhythm of firstfruits by setting aside one-tenth of our increase—a tangible reminder that all blessings flow from YHVH’s hand. This act of obedience isn’t a burden but a joyful response, echoing Leviticus’ call and Numbers’ provision to sustain the work of the sanctuary, tend to the people who follow in his ways, and care for those in need.
Aligning Every Word
We only share what flows straight from the well of Scripture—posts, messages, and materials must echo the Tenack (Torah, Nevi’im, Ketuvim) and our community’s values. If it doesn’t resonate with the Creator’s revealed Word, it doesn’t earn a spot in our timeline.
Filtering Out the Noise
We draw a clear line between divine revelation and human chatter. Non-scriptural theories, political propaganda, or unrelated content? We swipe left. Our conversations stay focused on the life-giving truth that unites us under YHVH and Yahushua.
COMMUNITY
Shabbat and Feasts
We believe the Shabbat isn’t a dull ritual but a divine pause—an oasis in our week when we set aside toil and tune our souls to the Creator’s heartbeat. Each seventh day, from the break of Shabbat Morning,to twilight Shabbat evening, we rest, reflect, and rejoice in the quiet strength of stillness. Likewise, we celebrate the appointed feasts—Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot, and the rest—not as dusty obligations, but as living landmarks in our spiritual journey. When we gather under booth-roofed canopies or lift unleavened bread in remembrance, we’re not merely reenacting history; we’re stepping into the story of remembrance itself.
Righteous Living
Living right isn’t about perfection; it’s about direction. We aim our hearts and hands toward the Creator’s instruction, letting integrity guide our business deals, justice shape our community policies, and mercy soften our judgments. In every choice—whether speaking truth in a boardroom or extending kindness to a stranger—we seek to mirror the character of our Maker. We know we’ll stumble, but we rise quick to realign our compass, ever-forward, ever-faithful.
Discerning Judgment
Judgment isn’t an executioner’s gavel but a well-honed scalpel—precise, wise, and tempered by grace. We commit to evaluating one another and the world around us with humility, aware that only the Creator holds perfect perspective. We refuse hypocrisy: our critiques are born of love, our corrections wrapped in compassion, and our pronouncements informed by Scripture, not by prejudice or pride. In so doing, we cultivate a community where truth and tenderness walk hand in hand.

Ed Esterline
My name is Ed Esterline and my love for the creator of the heavens and the earth is above everything in my life. I worship him and him alone. I believe the most important study one can do is the true calendar. I also believe it’s extremely important to know who messiah is and who he’s not, what his true role was while on earth, and what his role is at the right hand of the father.
While fellowship is a blessing, what I desire in this life is to be surrounded by brothers and sisters who understand the true meaning of what a community should be. Brothers and sisters who work together to build a thriving set-apart community honoring our father and to be passed down to our children, and our children’s children, for generations.
