Our community carries a rich legacy of Torah living shaped through an African paradigm, yet many of our people grow up without a clear map connecting that legacy to its full theological and historical roots. The Beit Mashiyach Discipleship Course exists to build that map, giving every student a foundational and comprehensive Israelite consciousness grounded in both faith and history.
This course opens with Rambam’s 13 Principles of Faith, establishing the theological bedrock that has anchored Israelite belief across centuries. From there, students journey through the African expression of Torah culture during Temple times, the oral tradition texts that carried the law forward, the teachings of Kabbalah, and the generations of Chazal Rabbis who preserved our sacred texts through the Mishnaic ages. The course traces the tribes of Israel through the African Diaspora, documents our history through slave ship manifests, and honors the prophets and founders who rekindled our identity, Prophet F.S. Cherry, William Saunders Crowdy, Wentworth Arthur Matthew, and Arnold Josiah Ford among them. Students then follow the story into contemporary movements, from the Kingdom of Israel in Dimona to the growth of 1 West doctrine and its camps.
Twenty-five weeks give our community the space to hold all of this together as one continuous story, our principles, our communities, our ages, our texts, woven into a single body of consciousness. Each student who completes the course steps forward not simply with knowledge, but with identity, prepared to carry the legacy of the Kingdom into active service.
Beit Mashiyach invites every member of our community to join this annual course. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your commitment, and walk this journey together as we build a generation of messianic citizens rooted deeply in faith and history alike.
