We at Gesher Shalom believe that Messiah Yeshua is the
Light of the world. As we seek to be conformed to His
image, it is our responsibility to be His light in our
world. We are blessed to be entrusted with imparting this
message to our children, the next generation of leaders.
Our children study the Parasha (Torah portion) every Shabbat
through a wonderful Messianic curriculum that teaches
them the words of Ha Shem and incorporates the words of
Yeshua. This gives them a scriptural application so they
can always be ready with a word to share with their family
and friends who do not know the L-rd. The children also
study and take part in the Feasts of the L-rd throughout
the year.
We are blessed to have many teachers who plan wonderful
activities, such as art projects, skits and demonstrations
to go along with the lesson each Shabbat. The children
spend time in prayer before and after class, which includes
praying for each other’s needs.
We prefer that the children remain in the service so they
may participate in the Praise, Worship, Dance, and Liturgy.
They are dismissed to their class during the Rabbi’s
message.
Our classroom age groups are 0 – 4 yrs. for Nursery;
5 – 7 yrs; 8 – 12 yrs; and 13 – 17 yrs.
We look forward to having you with us at Gesher Shalom.

Gesher Shalom's
Dance Ministry exists to plant a seed in the hearts of those
who wish to know the Messiah through dance. We encourage
true praise and worship in order to expose others to the
presence of G-d through His Ruach HaKodesh. The Dance Ministry
strives to equip members of all dance levels to exalt the
L-rd through workshops. Finally, we offer our talents
with joy and service to the kingdom and honor of G-d held each Shabbat after services for regular attenders of the Congregation. |

The Gesher Shalom Praise &
Worship Group incorporates Davidic style Messianic music with
other contemporary styles of worship at our Friday and Saturday services, in order to usher in
the presence of G-d, and allow the congregation to experience
the love of Messiah Yeshua. |

The goal
of the Gesher Shalom College and Career group is that our
lives be marked by wisdom at a young age. We want to reflect
the advice given in 1 Timothy 4:12, which says, "Let
no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers
an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in
purity." Our goal is to care for one another and strengthen
one another's faith, as "iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs
27:17). We do so through weekly Bible studies and monthly
prayer meetings. The focus on our spiritual maturity will
attract others to experience G-d through our love and this
ministry. |

The Women’s
Prayer Group helps support the vision and mission of Gesher
Shalom with fervent and effectual prayer. We also pray for
the protection and salvation of the whole House of Israel.
We pray for each other’s needs, and help to bear one
another’s burdens. We believe that a strong women’s
prayer group fills a need to nurture love and support for
women so that they may fulfill their calling. We meet every
Monday night at 6:30 pm at the Santuary of Gesher Shalom. All women who are part of our Congregation are welcome. |

The Men’s
Intercessory Prayer Ministry of Gesher Shalom seeks to imitate
Yeshua, our Messiah, as He was a leader in prayer. We desire
to be those who would stand in the gap, lifting up the individual
and corporate needs of our community, and ushering in the
Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit). The prophet, Samuel, in 1
Sam. 12:23, stated: “Moreover, as for me, far be it
from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to
pray for you.”
All men who attend regularly to our Congregation are welcome. We meet on Monday night at
6:30 p.m., at the synagogue. |

home and all married couples, who attend the Congregation are invited. We share good
food, good fellowship, testimonies and life experiences
and, along with teaching nuggets from Rabbi and Rebbitzen

and friendship. |

Club Maccabee is a specially designed program to teach children the truths of Scripture in a fun Jewish environment. Maccabees help to build fellowship with lessons, prayer, games, snacks, and activities. Intended for 1st-6th grade the children get T-shirts, Key Rings to hold memory verses and Hebrew words. Like the Maccabees of Jewish history, we want children to learn to stand up for God and the traditions of their forefathers.
