Messianic Jewish congregations repeatedly claim that they are Jewish, not Christian organizations. In truth, the entire movement was created by Christianity as a method of converting the Jewish people. 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 or where created by a Christian church. In each case, the name of their Christian denomination/church 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 national Christian denominational directory.
