Shalom, friends! We keep the Sabbath in North Kansas City together each week in a New Covenant context. Our fellowship is at 2018 Gentry Street in North Kansas City, MO 64116 each week (this is not our mailing address). We get together at noon for lunch and services start at 1pm central time. If the weather looks bad and you’ve never met with us before, please contact us so we know you’re coming. A picture of the door to enter the building is at the bottom of this page. You may catch the live stream at First Century Christianity – YouTube
Our worship service is similar in form to most Christian church services. We have prayer request time, scripture readings, sing worship songs that range from traditional hymns to contemporary Christian music to Messianic-style songs that mix Hebrew and English. Our sermon time is more interactive than most, feeling more like a bible study at times than a one way message. We also do Hebraic dancing from time to time, which is similar to choreographed line dancing to our worship songs that anybody can do.
We do use the actual Names of God (Yahweh) and Jesus (Yeshua). However, we are not dogmatic about it. Feel free to use the traditional Names if you come to worship with us and enjoy learning about their real Names, what they mean, and why we use them.
We also keep the Holy Days of Leviticus 23. Those dates move around on the calendar each year. They are listed on Holy Day Dates – First Century Christianity. The annual Holy Days, also called moedim, are part of keeping the Torah and are things the first century Christians adopted when they joined the family of Yahweh. These days are mostly observed with a traditional church service but some have differences. As you worship with us, we’ll explain the differences and why we do what we do.
We look forward to meeting you as we keep the Sabbath in Kansas City!
Hi, my name’s Chris.
I’m the pastor of
a congregation called The Word and the Way,
and we also go by the name 1st Century
Christianity,
and we are an actual church congregation
that meets every Sabbath
at noon for lunch and 1 p.m.
for services
in North Kansas City, Missouri. And
we recently had a brother find us,
and he said it was difficult
to find us,
and he had to do a lot of searching and use
AI to find a church that keeps the Sabbath
keeps the holy days,
uses the sacred names,
and understands
the messianic
basis, the messianic reality of the faith
once delivered to the saints.
So if you live in Kansas City, or
we have people come from a pretty big
perimeter because we’re unique,
and you want to keep the Sabbath, you want
to keep Shabbat,
from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, just
like it was in the beginning,
and you
want to avoid the unclean foods, you want
to avoid the pagan holidays of
Christmas, Easter, Sunday, and any of that stuff,
and you want to keep the holy days of
Leviticus 23 in a new covenant context,
we’re the place.
We’re it.
And we would encourage you to come
for the holy days
annually as well.
We do keep
Passover and Sukkot and Pentecost, Shavuot,
here locally every year.
And
people can come from far off and arrange for
an Airbnb or something and come fellowship
with us.
It’s really
a fun time to be around.
And if you’re looking for a home
congregation that’s not going to be
barking at you or
condemning you or anything, and
understanding that
you
did learn about God when you called Him
God, and you learned about His Son when you
called Him Jesus,
and you want to get closer to the original faith
by using the sacred names of Yahweh and
Yeshua, and you want to
keep
the proper holy days,
and you want to have a place to fellowship
where you can kind of be yourself every week,
even if you’re not in Kansas City, you can join us
If you join our e-mail list at
firstcenturychristianity.net,
you can join through Zoom.
And if not, we stream live on YouTube
and Facebook and Rumble whenever I can get
that running each week.
So thank you so much for watching. And I
just want to invite everybody and put this
out in video form
in order to help people who are looking for
a congregation like us.
for those who have been called out of
Babylon, so you know that there is a place
for you to fellowship
here on
planet Earth.
Thanks for watching.
May Yahweh bless you and keep you in the
name of His Son, Yeshua.
And please do like, share, and subscribe so
other people
who are looking for us can find us.
Shalom.
Have a blessed day.
