Shalom Macon: Messianic Jewish Teachings
Shalom Macon is a growing and vibrant Messianic Jewish congregation in Macon, Georgia, serving our local community and reaching thousands around the world through online engagement. Our congregation (in-person and online) is a diverse community of disciples, both Jews and those from many nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). And while we are a Jewish synagogue, committed to the Jewish traditions, teachings, and lifestyle exemplified by our ancestors, our vision is to practice an inclusive Messianic Judaism for All Nations; a restoration of the faith of the earliest communities of Yeshua-followers; a window into the beauty of the Messianic Era in which King Messiah will reign.
