Many of our board members continue the teachings of our founder, Dr. Rick Sharp, on the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Each year, we host an authentic Passover Seder meal at churches and schools, giving guests the opportunity to experience the traditional Jewish foods, prayers, and teachings of the setting in which Jesus instituted communion.
