Yahweh's Assembly in Yahshua

Yahweh's Assembly in Yahshua is a Sacred Name and Sabbatarian Christian church, that is a splinter group from the Yahweh's New Covenant Assembly, which was a splinter from Yahweh's Assembly in Messiah, which stemmed from the Assembly of Yahweh group. Its main headquarters are in Rocheport, Missouri. It is currently headed by Donald Mansager. The Sacred Name Movement started with the formation of the Assembly of Yahweh in Holt, Michigan, USA in the early 1930s.

History

The Assemblies of Yahweh, Bethel, PA, was begun by Jacob O. Meyer, after ordination by members of the Assembly of Yahweh. Over time, The Bethel organization became independent of the Michigan group, and expanded their national outreach.

Donald Mansager and several Elders split from the Assemblies of Yahweh over autocratic issues and formed Yahweh's Assembly in Messiah in the early 1980s.

Mansager eventually left that organization in dispute over the handling of an adultery scandal, involving a prominent minister in that group. He then formed Yahweh's New Covenant Assembly in 1985. The name was changed to Yahweh's Assembly in Yahshua after an internal split in 2006. Alan Mansager (Donald Mansager's son) parted ways in 1998 as Alan disagreed with his father on the scriptural qualifications for ordaining ministers. Alan formed Yahweh's Restoration Ministry. Robert Wirl split from the Assemblies of Yahweh, Bethel, Pennsylvania, and formed Yahweh's Philadelphia Truth Congregation in 2002. He has since joined with Yahweh's Restoration Ministry.

The Yahweh's Assembly in Messiah organization is now headed by Donald Mansager.

Doctrines and practices

One major difference between Yahweh's Assembly in Yahshua and the majority of churches in Christendom is that Yahweh's Assembly keep a seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday), and part of their dogma is to refer to God the Father as "Yahweh" (which they believe is the Hebrew form of the "Sacred Name", which is rendered as "Jehovah" in the AV and ASV, or the Tetragrammaton of "YHWH"), and they always refer to Jesus Christ the Son by the more Hebraic form of "Yahshua". The Yahweh's Assembly of Messiah are nontrinitarian, believing that the Father is greater than the Son in all things, and that the Holy Spirit is not equal to the Father, and is not an actual person, but is God's "power". Their preferred English translation of the Bible for study and worship is the King James Bible, but they use other versions also.
