Why a Guild
Hebron Guild is a unique approach to relational connection in a functional structure. It is not a network like most are familiar with, but has more of a distinct purpose of its existence. It is designed around the concept of the mid century Guilds formed in Europe.
These guilds are defined as associations of craftsmen and merchants formed to promote the economic interests of their members as well as to provide protection and mutual aid. They also became a strong force and created a bond of working for each others success. As both business and social organizations, guilds were prolific throughout Europe between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries. Guilds were organized so that workers would learn skills from others connected with the guild. Members traditionally advanced through the stages of apprentice, journeyman, and finally a master role. It is much like being a new believer, a disciple and finally a Christian. Paul said he was a master builder and he had perfected what and how he built. We desire that same thing to occur as each member gleans form others. In Hebron Guild we will invest into each other to help individuals advance.
Honorable Men and Women on a Quest
We desire to have a “guild” of honorable men and women who have a bond together for each others success. This will be both those who are masters in ministry as well as those needing mentored and discipled. This guild will be made up of leaders of ministry and those who are contending strongly to be ministers of ministry. All five fold leaders and women in ministry are welcome. In addition it will have a place for creatives such as prophetic psalmist, musicians, and others who bring heavens sounds and images to earth.
This tribe of warriors who enter the realms of God, steward the spiritual realms, and confront evil will be seen as those who contend to bring heaven to earth. It is also open to those who have a genuine call into ministry. This guild will become a place of master craftsman of ancient paths and ways of God by spiritual flow, freedom, and life giving breath that brings creativity and God original intentions.
Hebron Guild is open to all levels of maturity and including emerging generations. Members in guilds traditionally advanced through the stages of apprentice, journeyman, and finally master. We desire to see this same spiritual principle as part of this guild as well. Recognizing those who have become experts in a certain field that others can draw from. In essence creating a perpetual path of maturity and a living legacy.
Hebron Guild Function
Hebron Guild will function differently than any network. Those who we would look at as attaining a master level are those who have become seasoned experts in an area. We wish for others to glean from them and will be using these in zoom schools and mentoring. There will be times of gathering and investing into each other as well.
We will need to help the emerging generations come into the guild in local levels as most don’t have the means to travel. But because they are technology savvy our investment into their lives will give them opportunities no matter where they live.
We will make available to the guild contacts in other nations for travel and influence. This will allow others to invest into nations as well as give opportunities to go to nations. International members will be asked to oversee Hebron Guilds for regions, states and nations as well. Conducting the same pattern of investment values and relationships.
What we are doing is creating a large organic ministry of experts in different areas that can be drawn from. This will be by relationships, and not forced governmental oversight. We also are forming the next 2 generations as well for longevity, legacy and to help shoulder responsibilities. Members, once approved, will create their profile page for others to see and recognize who they are and what they are doing. These profiles will be available to all members. This will help build interconnectedness.
Who should Join
Who should join Hebron Guild? Hebron Guild exists for those series about ministry. First it is for any leader who is overseeing a functioning ministry. This is fulltime and bi-vocational leaders. They are the ones actually doing the work. We want them to be encouraged and strengthened. This includes all 5 fold functioning leaders.
The second group is those who are serving in ministry but may not be the main overseer. In other words, those who are serving the body of Christ currently by leading ministry within ministry. They can be church workers, Sunday school teachers, small group leaders and others such as worship team members. In other words, those who are doing ministry on a weekly basis.
The third level is those who have a call to the ministry. These are people with genuine calls that can be confirmed and have a desire to take a leadership role. This will be seen in how they currently serve and how often they serve. They will be serving a vision and have a desire to learn, being teachable. They are pursuing the calling and pressing into opportunities. They are seeking direction to help fulfill the call into ministry. They are active in their faith serving and honoring of those in leadership. This group probably has emerging generations within it.
Teaching and Training
This unique network has something to offer everyone, from those pursuing a call to those who are seasoned in ministry. Hebron Guild is for those who have a desire to be mentored and discipled into leadership roles. It is also for those who desire relationship with other leaders and to gain mutual encouragement concerning Kingdom initiatives. Built into the network is both a path to leadership and what most leaders are looking for authentic relationships.
Why is it important to have teaching and training? As we have said to make sure we get everyone on the same page of kingdom understanding. Part of this reasoning is that members are coming from across the globe such as Africa, Asia etc. and not just the United States. Many have never received official training in these nations and we want to help build a network that will be impactful and doctrinally correct.
Since we don’t know all the applicants personally coming into Hebron Guild, we are asking them to go through the Pathway Discipleship Group found in Legacy School . This is a totally free resource that is only about 25 hours of training. This will empower you to lead the pathway group with others and make you a mentor to others. This a an excellent resource for mentoring/discipling.
If you are already a seasoned leader you may see no reason for Pathway and that is fine. But what we want to do is create a network were we are all likeminded with Kingdom doctrine and understanding. As a leader you may only desire to take part in the relationships with other leaders and not want to take the time to be involved in mentoring others.
The next lever of advancement in Hebron Guild is to become one who can make disciples. Disciples that actually do the work of ministry. To help those needing training we have Legacy School. This is an online school that you go at your own pace. Once a person goes through Legacy School they would be looked upon as a Master discipler. Again, if you’re a seasoned leader and in relationship with the Leadership of Hebron Guild they can give you this status.
Also each member that completes Pathway Discipleship and Legacy School they will be given a status badge that will show up on their profile page. These this will help members know who to go to for discipling and training. It will also enable those who are seasoned leaders with the Master level to know who needs invested into to help bring them to a higher level of understanding. The two badges that will be seen on the member profile are Pathway Mentor and Master Discipler. If there is no badge then they have not completed the work.
As you come into Hebron Guild we are not requiring all these things, but it is up to you how much involvement you want to contribute. Hebron Guild is a means to help you take those who need training and bring them into a place to grow and mature and be trained. It also is a place where leaders in ministry can find a place of strength and help. We realize we may not be for everyone, but we are wanting to help those in this alliance to make a impact with their lives.
Hebron Guild will not ordain members. But members can seek ordination, alignment etc from those who mentor and disciple them. We want relationships to dictate these things over an organization, keeping things organic.
