Beth Shalom Ministries is an international ministry for both Jewish and Gentile believers. It is a part of, and is under the jurisdiction of, The Plant of Renown, Inc. It holds to the statement of fundamental truths and beliefs as outlined in the constitution of The Plant of Renown, Inc.The Christian church has a rich spiritual heritage due to the writings of the Torah and the prophets. Its beliefs are based on the Jewish concept of one sovereign God, creator of the universe.
Beth Shalom means "house of peace". This ministry was established to be a house of peace for both the Jew and the Gentile. We do not attempt to convert or proselytize but offer a place where both can come to worship together their mutual God. We believe that when a Jew becomes a believer in Christ that he does not lose any of his Jewishness, but that it is enhanced.
The symbol of The Plant of Renown is the cross of Christ, united with the Jewish six-pointed star. Jesus Christ was a Jew. He was brought up as a Jew and was a very religious observer of the Jewish laws and traditions. We believe that He is the promised Messiah who will return again for His own and will rule and reign with them in Jerusalem.
The "thrust" of Beth Shalom Ministries is the worship of God and the study of His Word. We have daily prayer and intercession for the protection of Israel and its borders. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the Jewish people all over the world. We study Jewish traditions and observe the festivals and feasts as outlined in the Old Testament. We have a Sabbath service on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Our congregation and its form of worship is based on the doctrines of the early church formed by the disciples and the apostle Paul.
"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity". (Psalm 133:1)
Rev. Jacob Maynard and his wife, Rev. Rachel Maynard, congregational leaders.
