Welcome to the Bet Shultana
The Bet Shultana, meaning "House of Authority," stands as the Apostolic See of Saint James the Just, the first bishop of Jerusalem and a central figure in the early Christian community. Rooted in ancient tradition and continuing a sacred lineage that traces back to the earliest followers of Jesus, the Bet Shultana serves as both the spiritual heart and governing body of the holy apostolic assembly of Jerusalem.

As the ecclesiastical center of the Jerusalem Church, Shultana plays a vital role in guiding the faith, practice, and communal life of its members. It upholds the teachings entrusted to Saint James and maintains continuity with the foundational leadership established during the first century. Through its oversight, the Bet Shultana ensures that the ancient liturgical customs, theological teachings, and moral disciplines of the Church are preserved and authentically lived out by its faithful.

In its administrative role, Shultana manages the ecclesial affairs of the assembly, including pastoral care, the consecration of clergy, maintenance of canonical order, and the stewardship of sacred sites and texts. It is the seat from which doctrinal decisions are discerned, internal unity is maintained, and outreach to other apostolic traditions is cultivated.

Shultana is a living institution that continues to serve the community of believers who seek to walk in the footsteps of Christ and the saints, especially Saint James, whose legacy forms the cornerstone of Jerusalem’s sacred Christian heritage.

The Shultana has representation in Israel, United States and Uzbekistan.
