Introduction for Leaders
Start your own HaYesod study group and join us in our efforts to share the vital message of HaYesod about the Jewish foundation of Christianity.
If you are interested in becoming a Group Leader and starting a HaYesod study group, we suggest you watch the two introductory videos here, each appoximately 5 minutes long
First Fruits of Zion does not have an "approval" process for leaders—essentially anyone can become a HaYesod Group Leader. We rely on you to determine whether or not this program and its message is something you can honestly stand behind and work within.
We want to build a team of quality leaders who are governed by shared values, common theological perspectives, genuine integrity, and a dream of seeing the whole body of Messiah building on the Jewish foundation of our faith.
HaYesod may not be for everyone. After reviewing this website, you may decide that this program is not the best choice for you. On the other hand, if you identify with this message, prayerfully join us by becoming a Group Leader.
Registration Steps
Follow the steps outlined below to become a Group Leader and host your group.
1. Download the Registration Pack
Download and carefully review the content in the Leadership Registration Pack. Agreement to the terms and policies contained in this document is required for all Group Leaders.
2. Register as a Group Leader Online
Complete the registration process and payment online.
If you cannot register online, complete the form contained in the Leadership Registration Pack and send that in with your payment by mail.
After registration, you will receive the HaYesod Start-up Pack by mail, including a Leadership Manual and Guide, HaYesod DVDs, group directory-listing (if requested), product samples and promotional materials.
Most of these resources are also available online immediately after registration.
Registered leaders are ministry partners with us, not customers; we work together in spreading this message and will be in contact with you all the way.
3. Gather your students and register them
As a registered leader, you need at least five students for your first study group. Once they have filled out their registration forms and paid the student registration fee, you submit the forms and fees to First Fruits of Zion.
Once we have your student registration forms, we will send you the HaYesod Program Kit including the Student Workbooks for each of your students.
4. Start your group
Each week as you meet, engage with your students in an active study of God's word. Playing the HaYesod lessons, leading the discussions and working through the issues presented in the program will give you the opportunity to share the timeless truths of God's word.
