Twelve Tribes Community in Plymouth

Plymouth, Massachusetts,

United States

On the coast of stony New England is the small town of Plymouth Massachusetts. One of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in North America, it has never lost its small-town identity. Out of respect for those early separatists and their fellow settlers who came to build a new life for themselves in 1620, we in the Twelve Tribes seek to establish a true community of believers here.

We live in Plymouth as three households of around 75 people. Together we operate a wholesome food store and a busy construction firm that has us building and restoring homes and commercial properties all up and down the east coast. We recently completed and opened The Blue Blinds, a whole grains bakery. We are also cultivating a two acre organic garden.

Our goal is to actualize the words of the New Testament calling for a people devoted to loving others in word and deed. We base it all on the love of Yahshua the Messiah.

Anyone coming through the area is invited to stop by for a visit, whether long or short.
