Our Story & Vision

Hesed House was birthed out of a vision to see God’s loving kindness expressed in daily community where Jews and Gentiles worship side-by-side, honoring God’s appointed times and celebrating His covenant love.

Whether you grew up lighting Shabbat candles, attending church on Sundays, or are exploring faith for the very first time, Hesed House offers a space to ask questions, deepen your Biblical understanding of the foundation of your faith, and find authentic fellowship.
