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.
The world is undeniably beautiful, with humanity contributing to this beauty through architecture, art, cuisine, and music for millennia. Each of us possesses a God-given spark of creativity to enhan…
