A Collegium is Men (Updated 12/14/25)
Helping Men Help Men
Because It’s Good for Everybody
A Christ Centered Brotherhood in Rockford Illinois
Founded by the Sons of Solomon
The Hebron Collegium is a gravitational hub for Christian men seeking to escape the fog of modern dissolution, a home for Sons of God in search of clarity that breaks the storm of anti-male dissociation, and a retreat center for the Kingdom exiles who hunger to found their patriarchy on Bible-Reading, fraternal Spirit and the Reign of Jesus Christ alone.
The Sons of Solomon is a men’s prayer movement founded on the principal reality that the Psalms are God’s prayers, the Proverbs are God’s insights and the Red Letters of Jesus Christ are the Words of the King that shall never pass away.
“Hold to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Tim 6)
The Scriptures of the New Testament define false teachers as those who do not hold to the sound words of Jesus Christ. The words of Jesus are the criterion. Everything else—law, doctrine, ethics—flows from adherence to His speech.
When Paul writes “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” to the Colossians (ch 3) he is not first speaking of the doctrines of the prophets nor the traditions of the synagogue. Paul, more than any other, knew that the OT was a closed book to the mind veiled by this age. Revelation became intelligible to him only through Christ’s direct Words. This word of Christ indwelling the Christian is the first fruit deposit of the Holy Spirit as the eternal gift of God to men.
When Paul summarizes his ministry to the Ephesian elders before he walks the lonely road to Jerusalem, he roots his charge in teaching the whole counsel of God as fulfilled in Christ. “Remember the Words of the Lord Jesus,” he says. “That He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” His appeal is not to theories, but to Christi Jesus’ own words.
Peter warns in his second letter, “Remember the commandments spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles” (ch. 3). He is explicit: the prophets speak forward, Jesus speaks centrally, and the apostles transmit what Jesus said to all who will believe on the basis of their words.
John also say in his second letter, “Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son,” and in his first letter he says, “His commandments are not burdensome.”
A Sower Went Out to Sow
Hebron exists to foster this Spirit of Wisdom, not a rejection of dogmatics or tradition, but a foundation of fellowship is those good and perfect gifts that came down from heaven in the Son of Man, and which shall never pass away.
The Best Thing to Do is to Visit
Hebron is equipped for six full time residents, six short term guests, and one full time overseer. Currently, we have room for you!
Soon, we will establish a calendy connection for your visit. Cost is $15/day which covers your food and amenities. (Full time residency is $400/month for room and board.) Hebron operates on a “Whole Foods Kitchen” Cooperative, which means residents share the cooking, cleaning and shopping duties. But don’t let any of that slow you down. We will gladly host you without cost in order to foster your journey as a Christian man seeking to calm the storms of this age as they assault your heart. Nobody leaves unchanged.
Soon, we will have an Instagram channel where you can see our stories, our struggles, and our growth together. Also, we hope to make your support of our mission simpler and more clear with giving platform option. In the meantime, you may always write for information at 4204 Shorewood Dr. Rockford IL 61101, or send a message through the Substack messaging platform.
What Do You Do There?
Opportunities for young men are available to receive local work and training via the ever growing network of the brotherhood. Current connections involve mechanics and airplane mechanics, sales and personal growth opportunities, Rock Valley Community College, Rockford University, and online degree/study sets the sky as the limit. Personal coaching and Spiritual Guidance are overseen by Rev. Jonathan Fisk, and personal development and pre-seminary curriculums are tailored to your personal goals and growth. The theological library alone is worth the week of retreat for seasoned pastors, laity and men’s groups alike.
A Rising Tide Lifts All Ships
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training facility, full capacity vehicle lift, crafting woodshop and backyard farming exploratorium provide the hungry young man’s hands every chance to grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
In a time when men of God are under siege and the next generation find themselves unseen, unheard and left out to dry, the Hebron Collegium is a next-era school founded on the principles of knowledge, wisdom and discipline are the sure and certain measure of the Scriptures applied in the godly and integral fear of the Lord.
