Statement of Faith

Please note the following definitions:


For clarity of understanding we use the term ‘Church’ referring to the Congregation of believers in The Messiah Yeshua.

'Christianity’ refers to a lifestyle founded and guided by the Bible.

'Membership': This is not referring to membership of a church as traditionally promoted, but membership of the congregation or the Kingdom of God. This must not be confused with the term ‘membership’ used in our English language and constitutional documents.

Breakthru Life is an independent, non-denominational organisation.

We work in association with the Hebraic Christian Global Community. Through the principles of fellowship, study, and prayer, the Hebraic Christian Global Community is equipped to be a community of service.

Participants of Breakthu Life accept the following statements frame our Christian belief and experience.
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit is producing among us a work of biblical restoration, returning the church to its Hebraic foundations in order to go forward in understanding of biblical truth, faith, and practice. This restoration is manifest in intimate relationship with God and in loving interpersonal relationships with fellow believers and with society in general.


  • We believe that the goal of the Hebraic roots restoration community should be to educate, edify, and expand Christian life and understanding, helping produce strong, informed, mature, and committed Christians, dedicated to holy living.


  • We believe that this is an outworking of biblical discipleship, the breaking forth of God’s kingdom in the lives of believers who follow the Scriptures.


  • We believe that the most important feature of the Hebraic roots restoration is its effort to help believers become more like Jesus Christ by imparting to them a clearer understanding of their Hebrew Lord.


  • We believe that restoring the Hebraic foundations of the Christian faith is an effort that is in continuity with the historical church, the movement begun by Yeshua (Jesus) and the apostles. We, therefore, consider this restoration to be a work of renewing existing faith communities and corporate structures, returning them to original Christianity as modeled by Yeshua (Jesus) and his disciples.


  • We recognise Christianity’s historical and theological emergence from the matrix of biblical Judaism as a confirmation of the continuity of biblical faith.


  • We believe that the divine instruction of the Torah (the Pentateuch or Law) is foundational for the faith of Yeshua (Jesus) and the apostles; therefore, we recognize its continuing relevance and value for the church’s Christocentric existence, and we encourage Christians to study and celebrate it within the context of the Renewed Covenant.


  • We recognise the value of extra-biblical sources, including early Jewish and rabbinic literature, as tools for clearer understanding of the concepts of the Hebrew Scriptures, of biblical Judaism, and of the teachings of the New Testament by providing the textual, historical, social, and political context in which the Holy Scriptures were written.


  • We believe that biblical faith prioritises the family as the primary institution for spiritual nurture and development in holy living.


  • We believe that the restoration of our Hebraic heritage offers great flexibility for expressions of faith and worship, including options of Jewish music, liturgy, dance, the arts, and the celebration of biblical festivals.


  • We believe that recovering the Hebraic worldview and mindset helps to enrich the Christian experience by replacing unhealthy tendencies toward dualism with a healthy biblical holism that underscores the spiritual nature of every aspect of life.


  • We believe that restoring Christianity’s Hebraic heritage is a call to study and scholarship, both of which are considered among the highest forms of worship in Jewish tradition.


  • We encourage collaborative religious and historical scholarship with Jewish scholars both in Israel and in the international Jewish community.


  • We recognise and affirm Christianity’s debt to the Jewish people for our understanding of God, for our Scriptures, for our Messiah, and for our salvation through the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus).


  • We encourage Christian support and cooperation with the international Jewish community wherever possible.


  • We believe that the Jewish people have a God-given right to complete self-definition and self-determination, free from political, economic, social, or religious coercion, intimidation, or persecution.


  • We recognise the biblical and historical right of the Jewish people to live in their ancient homeland.


  • We value the land of Israel as an important resource for enhancing understanding of the history, culture, and language of the Jewish people from ancient history until the present and for expanding Christian understanding of Yeshua (Jesus) and the earliest church within the context of their Jewish ancestors, contemporaries, and descendants.


  • We believe that the church must repent for its historical Judaeophobia, anti-Judaism, and anti-Semitism, which sponsored and encouraged systematic and unrelenting persecution of the Jewish people that culminated in the Holocaust.


  • We believe that in the spirit of truly biblical repentance, the church must continue to take the initiative to rebuild positive relations with the international Jewish community.


  • We believe that the church must renounce, both corporately and individually, both theologically and practically, all forms of racism, ethnic prejudice, class discrimination, and gender bias.


  • We are a congregation made up of people who are born into ‘The Kingdom of God (YHWH)’


  • We are by definition Christians but remain true to the Hebrew Scriptures and the biblical faith.


  • We do not embrace mystic ideas, or anything contrary to the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible.


  • We recognise the importance of fellowship, teaching, opportunity and growth. All in the context of scripture which may run counter to our modern culture.
