Our mission

We're on a mission to change the way that the denominational church works. We are Neo-traditional in that we follow the Word of the Lord found in the bible and speak where God speaks and remain silent where He remains silent.

Our vision

We want to live in a world where people can fulfill their calls to ministry rather than having to find a compromise and less than God's call. That's why we take a lot of time and care in getting to know our clergy from the moment they reach out to us and ask for our help or assistance.

the SHOFAR team
