Tri-Unity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet there is only one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19ONE LORD • ONE FAITH • ALL SCRIPTURE
What we believeMessiah at the center.
The whole Bible in view.
These convictions describe how Corner Fringe Dixon understands Scripture, salvation, Israel, and the life we share as a Messianic fellowship.
01 · God
One God.
Messiah made known.
We believe in the one God of Israel—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and in Yeshua as the eternal Son who became fully human for our salvation.
The Father
God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He sent His Son for our salvation.
John 3:16 · Ephesians 1:3–6The Son
Yeshua (Jesus) is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again on the third day.
John 1:1, 14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, seals, and indwells believers, empowering them for Christian life and service.
John 16:8–11 · Ephesians 1:13–1402 · Salvation
Grace received.
A life transformed.
Salvation begins and ends with God’s grace. Obedience follows faith; it does not purchase it.
The state of man
All people are born with a sinful nature and are in need of salvation. Apart from God’s grace, all are spiritually dead and unable to please God.
Romans 3:23 · Ephesians 2:1–3Justification
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Yeshua alone. Justification is God’s declaration that the believer is righteous in His sight.
Ephesians 2:8–9 · Romans 5:1Sanctification
Sanctification is the progressive work of God in the believer’s life, making us more like Messiah through the power of the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 · 1 Thessalonians 4:3Glorification
Glorification is the final step in salvation, when believers receive resurrected bodies and are made completely like Messiah.
1 Corinthians 15:51–53 · 1 John 3:2“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
Matthew 5:17
03 · Scripture and roots
One revelation.
From Genesis to Revelation.
The Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. The Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh) and the New Testament form one unified revelation of God’s plan for humanity.
We receive Torah, the Prophets, the Writings, the Gospels, the apostolic letters, and Revelation as belonging together. The Old Testament is not discarded or secondary.
Yeshua was Jewish, lived as a Jew, and His teachings are understood in their proper Jewish context. Honoring Jewish roots does not mean Gentile believers must become ethnically Jewish.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 · 2 Peter 1:20–2104 · One people in MessiahUnited in Messiah,
United in Messiah,
not erased.
Jewish and Gentile believers are united in Messiah as One New Man while maintaining distinct identities and callings. The Jewish people remain God’s chosen people, and God’s covenants with Israel are eternal and irrevocable.
We believe that God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people as an everlasting inheritance and that this covenant remains in effect today.
Ephesians 2 · Romans 11:28–29 · Genesis 17:7 · Genesis 13:14–1505 · A few important clarifications
What we mean.
What we do not mean.
Correct and sound doctrine matters for salvation and spiritual growth. These clarifications are offered plainly and pastorally, not combatively.
The deity and humanity of Yeshua
We reject any theology that denies that Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, including Unitarianism, Arianism, Docetism, Modalism, Eutychianism, Nestorianism, Tritheism, Pneumatomachianism, Monolatry, Gnosticism, or any ideology that denies His deity or humanity.
Grace is not earned
Good works and Torah observance are fruits of salvation, not the means to salvation. Torah is not a path to justification or works-based salvation.
Israel is not replaced
The Church has not replaced Israel. God’s covenant with Israel remains, and His covenant purposes for Israel have not been discarded.
Faith is not a promise of wealth
We reject the prosperity gospel—the teaching that faith guarantees material wealth or comfort.
Salvation is not universal
We reject universalism—the teaching that all people will be saved regardless of faith. Salvation is by grace through faith in Yeshua alone.
Marriage is a sacred covenant
We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God as the foundation of the family and society.
The invitation is open
We reject the idea that the faith is exclusive to Jewish people. Jewish and Gentile believers are welcome and united in Messiah. Whole-Bible faith is not an anti-church posture; we respect and partner with other Christian denominations.
06 · Community practice
Faith becomes
a way of life.
Our practices are how we walk these convictions together. They are expressions of devotion and shared life, not requirements for salvation.
Sabbath
We practice the seventh-day Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. During this time we abstain from work and worship together; the Sabbath also points toward eternal rest with God.
Genesis 2:2–3 · Exodus 20:8–11 · Leviticus 23:3 · Hebrews 4:9–10Biblical feasts
We keep Passover and Unleavened Bread, Shavuot (Pentecost), the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. We also celebrate Purim and Hanukkah as memorials of God’s deliverance in history.
Leviticus 23:4–44 · Esther 9:20–22 · John 10:22–23A calendar shared with Israel
We unite with Israel in keeping the Hillel Calendar for counting the festivals. This calendar, used for nearly 1,700 years, is a calculated version of the same Jewish calendar Yeshua followed. Our holidays fall on the same days as Israel, with one exception: Shavuot (Pentecost).
Leviticus 23:4–44Passover
We observe the meal around twilight on the 14th day of Nisan, at the end of the 14th into the 15th. We do not eat lamb at Passover: the lamb was sacrificed at the Temple in Jerusalem, and we recognize Yeshua as our Passover Lamb, offered once for all.
Exodus 12:6 · Deuteronomy 16:2, 5–7 · 1 Corinthians 5:7Guidelines, not a gate.
We follow the biblical food instructions in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 as guidelines for health and holiness. Members may choose kosher practice as an expression of faith, but food practice does not earn salvation, and we respect those who hold different convictions.
A clear table.
Corner Fringe maintains a policy of no alcohol at ministry events, services, or gatherings. This applies to Sabbath services, fellowship meals, celebrations, Bible studies, prayer meetings, conferences, retreats, and ministry meetings. Personal convictions may differ outside ministry-sponsored events.
07 · Our shared life
A family
learning together.
We seek to live out our faith through community fellowship and mutual support, regular prayer and Scripture study, sharing the Gospel with love and gentleness, and caring for the poor and marginalized.
Hebrew and English worship songs

Communion and breaking of bread

Youth and family programs
Leadership and accountability
Corner Fringe operates under a biblical eldership model, with Pastor Mike serving as the primary teaching elder and spiritual overseer. Leaders seek humility, faithfulness, and devotion to the Word; major decisions are made through prayer, biblical study, and counsel. Leadership is accountable to Scripture, one another, and the congregation.
We affirm that men and women are equal in dignity and worth, with distinct roles in marriage, family, and church leadership. Husbands are called to loving, sacrificial leadership and wives to willing, respectful submission unto the Lord. Women may teach children and other women and serve in many ministry capacities; the office of elder or pastor is reserved for qualified men.
1 Timothy 3:1–7 · Titus 1:5–9 · Acts 6:3 · Numbers 11:16–17The heart of it
Seeing Jesus as the Jewish Messiah makes faith richer, worship deeper, and our understanding of God’s eternal plan clearer.
We are a family of believers who love Yeshua and desire to understand Him through the lens of His Jewish heritage. We invite you to learn with us, ask honest questions, and take your time.
Questions are welcome
