Ancient Roots Fellowship

Ancient Roots is a trans-denominational fellowship of both professional and lay artisans and other everyday people. Some are patrons of the sacred arts. We are “the Body” in the biblical sense and seek to serve the purposes of Christ in the marketplace in all vocations, from civil servant “missionaries” to those who train horses or build windmills or cell towers.

Our focus and mission as a fellowship is unveiling the Kingdom of God.

Ancient Roots is launching the Ancient Roots Community, including upcoming Cafe events.

Ancient Roots believes the traditional Creeds of the Christian Faith, while emphasizing the "Jewishness" in cultural and context of both scripture and Messianic/Christian tradition. Ancient Roots finds it's hope, motivation and guidance in the person of Jesus, the Christ (Greek/"Anointed One") and promised Jewish Messiah. We seek His governance in all we attempt to accomplish. We believe in the Presence and Power of His Holy Spirit to the Glory of God the Father. Ancient Roots Fellowship believes in the ability of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Jesus, the Christ) to restore people to their original intent and callings, and in His ability to heal families and communities by the power of His love and grace. He IS the "lamb of God" who takes away the sin of the world. --St. John 1:29

Some projects will be designed to “plant seeds” and not specifically be religious by project or tone.
