Formerly – Four Winds Christian Fellowship
Due to many changes in core beliefs over the past few years, Four Winds Christian Fellowship has elected to change our ministry name to Torah Life Fellowship. We are currently engaged in updating all of the legal paperwork to make the change official. Updates will follow soon.
What We Believe
We believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah.
We believe that Yeshua did not come to abolish the law, but to be a living example of it carried out in our midst (an example to be followed). “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” – Matthew 5:17
If we are to “live as Jesus lived”, then we should honor His Father, by keeping the commands that Jesus kept. Jesus never broke any of the commands found in the Torah (first five books of the Bible). All of the “laws that Jesus broke” were laws added by the scribes and the Pharisees. Jesus took every opportunity to break laws made by man and point them back to the ways of His Father. Jesus said: “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”- Matthew 11:30 Jesus was standing in stark opposition to the crippling burden of rabbinic Judaism that had so many laws, they became impossible to follow.
We believe that we are to observe the holidays (Holy Days) that are given to us by scripture: Passover, First Fruits, Pentacost, Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Attonement, and The Feast of Booths.
We reject holidays like Christmas and Easter that have unholy roots going back to the worship of Saturnalia and Ishtar. We are not accusing well-meaning Christians of worshipping these false gods, we are merely distancing ourselves from Holy Days that are not commanded by scripture and that have very twisted origins.
We believe that all of Ten Commandments are still in effect today.
This includes the 4th Commandment: ““Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.” Exodus 20:8-10
The Weekly Sabbath
We have moved away from the traditional Christian Church model and have tried to move back to a model that closer resembles the book of Acts. We meet together weekly on the Sabbath (Saturday) in each other’s homes. We eat a Biblical Kosher meal, study the Scriptures, and worship together.
We have chosen to retain our property to use for special events like weddings, Biblical festivals, and ministries (James 1:27), etc. We have found great joy in our weekly gathering, however, moving into one another’s homes.

Passover 2024
Leviticus 23:5 “ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the Lord’s Passover”
While we know that Yeshua is the Passover Lamb, we are commanded to observe the Passover meal as a memorial. We aren’t trying to “perform the Passover” (that would be sacrilegious). We honor Yeshua by obeying his commands to keep a memorial meal.
Sukkot 2023
Leviticus 23:34 “‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. “
Each year, in observance of Sukkot our families camp together. We study the Torah. We worship together, and have fun doing projects and growing in our faith together.
