About us

Welcome to Haderech Yeshua!

HaDerech in Hebrew means “the way” or “the path”.

Yeshua derives from the Hebrew word yasha, which means “to save” or “to deliver”, and is often translated as “salvation”.

Therefore, Haderech Yeshua can be understood as “the path” or “the way” that Yeshua leads, or the path to the Father through the Son who saves.

Yeshua said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6

There is no other way to the Father: it is only through His only begotten Son, Yeshua HaMashiach! The only way to life everlasting. Amein!

Our mission

A congregational home for Jewish and non-Jewish believers

We seek to be a congregational home for both Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua who are called into covenant community with one another, seeking to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven locally, in Auckland, New Zealand, and to the nations, within the framework of Messianic Judaism.

(Eph. 2:11-3:7; Acts 2:42-47, 4:32-37; Mat. 26:26-29; Jer. 31:31-37; Rom. 11:11-36; Acts 21:20; Luke 4:42-44; Mark 1:14-15; Mat. 28:19-20)

Why we exist

We exist…

  • To worship and serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to proclaim Yeshua (of Nazareth) as the Messiah of Israel and the whole earth.
  • To be a house of worship and prayer for people of all nations.
  • To foster spiritual growth, develop strong and mature believers in Yeshua, and to develop a caring community in Yeshua who will serve one another in love and reflect the love of God for all people.
  • To maintain, cultivate and pass on a Messianic calling and expression of our faith in Yeshua by observing the Sabbath, keeping the Feasts, and embracing the covenantal responsibility of life and identity that is rooted in Torah, expressed in tradition, and renewed and applied in the context of the New Covenant.
  • To share our faith in Yeshua by word and deed, to all peoples.
  • To identify with the overall Body of Messiah, to share a vision with and to train new believers in the Jewish roots of our faith, as well as in our calling and responsibility to love, pray for, support and witness to the Jewish people and Israel.
  • To be a part of the end time restoration movement of the nation of Israel, culminating in the final return of Yeshua, and to support through prayer, finances and other resources, ministries that are committed to this end.
  • To impact our local communities for good through charitable giving, involvement in community programs, and practical activities that promote biblically sound principles for a healthy society.
