Messianic Jewish congregations repeatedly claim that they are Jewish, not Christian organizations. In truth, the entire movement was created in the 1800's by the Church of England as a method of converting the Jewish people and encouraging Jews to be more likely to end their churches. While some Messianic congregations are independent churches (often run by ordained Christian ministers), many are official members of various Christian denominations, though few will admit to it on their web-sites. The following is a list of Messianic congregations that are members of Christian denominations and major Christian organizations. In each case, the name of their Christian denomination is provided: If you click on the name, a reference link will bring you to the evidence showing their membership, usually a listing in a Christian denominational directory.
