John 3:16 “For God so loved the world (‘You’) that He gave His only son…”

Dedicated to bringing people closer to Yeshua (Jesus) and God our Father by showing how all of God’s word is one consistent story! Revealing the beauty of God’s laws and instructions (Torah), as well as His feasts!

We offer celebrations throughout the year, celebrating God’s appointed times (feasts), by both teaching and experience!

We offer teaching on a variety of topics, where everything is taught from a Hebrew perspective!

If your church or group would like to learn about God’s appointed times; Paul and the Law; the gospel in the “old testament”; or a myriad of other topics, contact Thomas. I can come to your location (within Spokane / Spokane Valley area)!

My name is Thomas L. I am a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus), and have been for more than 40 years. I’ve been teaching scripture from a Hebrew perspective for over 20 years.

Throughout the year there are different events.

Annually, several of God’s appointed times (His feasts!), are celebrated. They are celebrated in a way the opens up the feasts to see what God is saying and showing us about life with His messiah Yeshua (Jesus!).

They are also a lot fun!

I don’t teach or lead Christians the Jewish traditions. I do teach what is in the Bible! For this reason, the Passover celebration is not called a Seder.

The first is a celebration of Passover / First Fruits / Unleavened bread. These all happen at the same time.

The next in the year is celebrating Pentecost.

At the end of the year is a celebration for the Feast of Trumpets. Many people know the this one as the “Jewish New Year.” Christians should recognize the phrasing as it is written that Yeshua (Jesus) will return with the sound of a trumpet! (I’m not stating an eschatological point here, but am pointing out that these last three feasts have much to tell us about the end times!)

The day of Atonement and the feast of Tabernacles both occur shortly afterwards and will be talked about during the Feast of Trumpets celebration. After all, they are linked together! However, I observe and celebrate these two with my home fellowship here in the Pacific Northwest.

I also offer groups and churches near me teachings on various topics. Such topics as the Feasts of God; Paul and the Law; the Torah; and many other things from a Hebrew perspective.

Shalom!

For our next introduction, we are introducing Jana, who helped to make this website possible. In 2025, Jana moved to Spokane for more opportunities after having visited several times. She fell in love with the area for the libraries, parks and fun things to do.

Life is all about Relationship.

The greatest things in life are not things, or entertainment or accomplishments.  Unfortunately we often peruse these things relentlessly as though there are.

Here at Fellowship Church, we are learning about a fulfilling life through growing deeper and stronger in our most important relationships; relationship with Jesus and the people around us.  Together we are trying to discover the wonder of God, his great Love for us and His working in and through our lives.

We offer a casual atmosphere with fellowship, contemporary music and helpful insights from God’s Word designed to encourage and challenge you in faith.

Join us every Sunday at 10am!
