Congregational Leader Tim and Candyce Hyslip

Tim and Candyce have exhibited a sincere love for the LORD, and have exercised the faith, gifts and calling through various ministries. Tim is originally from Arizona and was brought up in a traditional Assemblies of God home. After going to SAGU he received a Bachelor of Science in Church Ministries, with a specialization in Cross Cultural Missions, and became a Licensed Minister with the Assemblies of God. In continuing his education he has begun Yeshiva Courses with the MJAA (Messianic Jewish Alliance of America). Tim has been actively involved in lay ministry as well as formal positions since 1992. He has served on numerous missions trips, along with the position of children’s pastor, youth pastor, Charter School principal, bar/batmitzvah director, Discipleship minister, and Associate Messianic Pastor to name a few. He has co-authored and co-taught “Mishpacha- A Messianic Discipleship Course” since 2000, and is currently pastoring Congregation Baruch HaShem in Anthem, AZ.

While Candyce’s heritage is Sephardic (Spanish and Jewish), she comes from a lineage of 3 generations of Assemblies of God church planters and pastors. In her Messianic upbringing, the opportunities to serve in ministry positions began when her father planted a messianic congregation in 1992, after the death of her mother. Since that time she has had filled the positions of children’s minister, youth minister, dance leader, counselor, along with many other areas of service. During her college years she was on the YMJA Planning Committee and began a messianic outreach on her SAGU campus. Candyce has been serving in the area of praise and worship since 1995 and continues to serve alongside her husband as his counterpart and best friend.

Together their heart is to reach people for the Kingdom of God, and to see them delivered, discipled and multiplied. They are dedicated to upholding the WORD with a circumcised heart, and serving in humility and excellence.

Tim and Candyce also have three sons Aaron and Isaac and baby Josiah.

Our Congregation

The idea of Baruch HaShem first began on a late summer’s night in June of 2000. After preaching about the Bride of Messiah in Prescott AZ, a request by Assemblies of God leadership was made to the Hyslips to begin a messianic congregation in Phoenix. While the request was kindly received, it was temporarily placed aside until the LORD took that spark and kindled it into a great fire of need, passion and vision for Phoenix.

After much praying, fasting, training and testing we were blessed and released to embark on the adventure of planting Congregation Baruch HaShem. Today the LORD has brought together many wonderful families, even from different areas of the country to begin this work. These co-laborers have become like family to us and we are honored to be working alongside such precious and gifted individuals.

While our congregation is predominately Jewish in culture and lifestyle, we are a unique tapestry of people from many different walks of life and ethnic backgrounds. You will find most people here tender hearted and passionately chasing after the heart of the Father. We are devoted to understanding and emulating the personage and life of our Redeemer, Messiah Yeshua. Even so, we welcome the work and moving of the Holy Spirit in our lives and service to accomplish the will of the Father and to make His glory known.
