Rediscover the Joy of Your Faith

Simka guides Christians to explore the cultural context of Jesus — so you can experience a vibrant, joy-filled faith.

"Simka" means Joy in Hebrew.

When Faith Feels Distant

Many Christians long for a deeper, more rooted faith—but modern expressions often feel disconnected from the world of the Bible itself.

Scripture was written in a specific land, culture, and rhythm of life. When those ancient contexts are lost, faith can feel fragmented, abstract, or incomplete.

Without ancient rhythms and contexts, faith can remain sincere—yet disconnected from the foundational world Jesus knew and lived.

Simka exists to help believers recover the timeless rhythms, places, and practices that shaped the first-century Church.

These are the Ancient Paths spoken about in Jeremiah 6:16 —“Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is…” Simka guides people back to a faith that is lived, embodied, and deeply relational.

It's not about abandoning modern life. It's about rediscovering our Christian heritage and reclaiming ancient wisdom for today.

Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths. "Which one is the good way?" Take it, and you will find rest for your souls.

Simka's Three Pillars

Walking the Ancient Paths through three interconnected experiences:

Ancient Rhythms, Lived in Community

Events

Simka Events invite people to experience the Biblical rhythms that shaped Jesus’ life — Sabbath rest, appointed times, and sacred celebrations.

These gatherings are designed to:

  • Restore spiritual rhythm
  • Create meaningful community
  • Reveal Scripture through lived experience

Faith was never meant to be practiced alone. These events help people live the Ancient Paths together.
