In the 1980s Dan Juster, a leader in the burgeoning Messianic movement, was challenged by a friend regarding the restoration of the Church by five fold leadership (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers). He began to gain a vision for the restored unity of the Body of Believers, and the foundations for restoration began to grow.

Many years later, the Tikkun America network now represents over 30 congregations and ministries in North America and is part of the broader Tikkun Global Family.

Because of the distinctiveness of the Messianic Jewish calling within the founding congregation, the need to develop a close-knit association of communities with shared values became a pressing motivation to create a new network rather than to join an existing one. Tikkun participates in the establishment of new Messianic congregations and cooperates with other restoration networks which pursue the unity of the Church, incorporating a deeper awareness of the Jewish roots of the faith.
