Building a community of disciples one Shabbat at a time

Registration link is at bottom of page.

​

A kehillah ( קְהִלָּה ) is an assembly or congregation. We use the word kehillah to recognize our community of faith. A roi (רֹעִי ) is a shepherd. We use this word to describe the leader of a Shabbat home kehillah.

 

One of the functions of a healthy kehillah is discipleship. A foundational part of our discipleship is a weekly gathering in homes on Shabbat. We meet together believing that each home is a sanctuary for gathering, worshipping, prayer, teaching, and allowing the many gifts of the body of Messiah to come forth.

 

For those who desire to lead a Shabbat Kehillah we have designed the following training.

The training will provide each leader a Biblical grounding and understanding of Be One’s philosophy of ministry and will equip each person to be effective as a shepherd and priest of the home group.

 

                                                  Who is this for?  The training is for two groups of people.

                                                  Group A:

                                                 The primary group members are those who have accepted the call

                                                 to lead a kehillah group in their home or the home of another host as a Be One                                                             Fellowship. This person or couple wants to be recognized as a Be One Fellowship                                                           Group and receive the  benefits and responsibilities of that recognition.

​

                 Some of the benefits:
