 Song: Zemer Atik

Shalom, and Welcome to the Beit Yeshua website.  God is restoring the "listening" church to its Biblical Hebraic Roots and this website shows the numerous areas of ministry we've been involved in over the years.

My name is Curtis.  My wife, Carolyn, and I have been public school teachers for 30+ years since we graduated from college in the mid-1970s.  I taught 8th grade Math until I retired in December 2004.  Carolyn taught high school Spanish until she retired in 2013. 

When we first graduated from college, we wanted to get involved in a local church and since we were both school teachers, church leaders just naturally assumed we’d want to work with kids and youth, which we did for a number of years.  Eventually God opened the door that brought us into Praise & Worship Ministry and I served as Minister of Music for 20+ years at several churches in Catawba County, NC.

It was during this time that God began to open our eyes to the fact that dance was scriptural and that it needed to be restored to the church as an integral part of our praise and worship experience.  Our eyes were opened to the beauty of the Biblical Festivals and how they so specifically paint a portrait of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). He also planted in our hearts the necessity to connect with and pray for the people of Israel - the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Since those days in the mid 1980s, we’ve had the opportunity to start four Israeli Folk Dance troupes that have met in churches in Catawba and Lincoln Counties in North Carolina.  We've taught dance at Zion Center for the Worship & Arts at Resurrection Dance Ministry in Charlotte, NC and ministered in dance at churches and other venues throughout the western part of the state.

Beit Yeshua (House of Salvation) was organized as a small Hebraic-Roots fellowship in August 2001 to give those in the Catawba/Lincoln County area an opportunity to learn about and observe the Biblical Festivals, learn about the Jewish heritage of Christianity, and to pray for and bless Israel and the Jewish people. The group has grown and gone through some changes over the years - including several changes in leadership.   Originally, I asked Greg Lilge to help co-lead the group. Greg was with us until 2005 when he relocated to South Carolina. At that time, Doug Williams stepped up and agreed to co-lead the group. Doug co-led the group from 2005 until 2016 when he went "home" to be with the LORD. After Doug's death, Paul Miles and Chuck Anthony stepped up to more prominent leadership positions filling the leadership places vacated by Doug. When Paul passed away in January 2017, Curtis & Chuck carried leadership of the group.

Beit Yeshua  currently meets twice monthly on Friday evenings to enjoy Shabbat, study & discuss the Torah, pray, worship & dance, fellowship and eat together.  Our meeting schedule revolves around the Biblical Festival Calendar but we also meet in a larger venue when observing some of the Biblical festivals in order to give others in the surrounding cities, counties and states an opportunity to join with us. 

As the years have passed, the Lord has "expanded our borders" as we've had the opportunity to (1) teach Jewish-Roots classes & seminars, (2) share Passover Seders at various churches & the local college, and (3) lead Israeli Folk Dance at conferences in Charlotte & Black Mountain, NC.

Thanks for checking out our web site.  Hope you find something here that ignites a spark within you to understand & experience all that God has for you.  Blessings in Messiah, Yeshua.
