OUR VISION
To see throughout Canada healthy leaders, leading healthy churches that transform communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION
To help Christian leaders join together to be encouraged, focused, and equipped to pursue the unique work God has placed on their hearts.
OUR NAME
Just like Aaron and Hur supported Moses during the attack on the Israelites (Exod 17:12), we are to support one another in the call to ministry. By keeping leaders’ hands high, we help them win their battles. The imagery from Exodus is not only reflected in the name and mission of Aaron Ministries, but also in our logo, wherein Moses’ rod connects the two A’s.
Essential Doctrine
- One God: Eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- One Lord Jesus Christ: Our Savior, God manifested in the flesh; His virgin birth, sinless human life, divine miracles, bodily resurrection, ascension, mediatorial work, substitutionary death, and personal return in power and glory.
- The Holy Spirit: By whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The Word of God: Originally given by God, divinely inspired, entirely trustworthy; the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- The Resurrection: Of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of life, the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- Salvation: Of the lost and self-centered sinful nature of humanity through the shed blood of Jesus Christ by faith, apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
- Unity in the Spirit: Of all true believers, the Body of Christ; visible in gathered communities and cooperative mission.
The AARON Network Manifesto
Our Shared Conviction, Identity & Mission
The AARON Network exists to strengthen leaders and churches across Nova Scotia and beyond. This creed expresses the convictions and values that unite us as a Kingdom movement. It reflects our shared identity, mission, and commitment to see revival, renewal, and transformation through Jesus Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord—not only of our churches, but of our cities, our province, and every sphere of life. We are not competitors in ministry, but co-laborers in the Kingdom of God.
- We are citizens of the Kingdom, not merely members of denominations.
- We are ambassadors of Christ, called to represent heaven’s culture on earth.
- We are stewards of influence, entrusted with spiritual authority to serve, not dominate.
- To honor one another across denominational lines, recognizing the unique grace on each ministry.
- To collaborate strategically, sharing resources, wisdom, and platforms for greater impact.
- To pray fervently for revival, unity, and transformation in our province.
- To lead with humility, valuing relationship over reputation, and obedience over ambition.
- To see our province saturated with the presence of God through unified witness.
- To disciple communities, not just congregations—bringing healing, justice, and hope.
- To raise up leaders who carry Kingdom DNA and multiply the culture of Christ.
- Regular gatherings for worship, intercession, and prophetic alignment.
- Joint initiatives in evangelism, social outreach, and leadership development.
- Transparent communication and mutual accountability.
- A shared Kingdom calendar to avoid duplication and foster synergy.
We renounce competition, comparison, and territorialism.
We embrace unity, honor, and shared purpose.
We declare that the Kingdom of God is advancing in our province—
and we will advance it together.
Our History
During prayer walks in 2000, God began to speak to Dwight Habermehl about a ministry to support pastoral leaders and Atlantic Canadian churches. God gave Dwight a vision for churches working together across denominational lines, experiencing health, vitality, and increased harvest.
Over the next year, Dwight met with pastoral leaders and observed three common themes: a desire to experience Christ’s Lordship, recognition of spiritual battle in ministry, and the challenge of leading the Church into harvest.
In 2002, leaders gathered to develop a vision addressing these areas. A leadership team was chosen, and The Well was born. In 2003, Aaron was introduced to CRM (now ReFocus.org), helping leaders gain clarity in mapping their personal and professional calling under the Lord’s guidance.
Monthly Well gatherings became a place of mutual encouragement. Each month, a pastor shared leadership lessons from their journey, followed by small group discussions to apply these insights.
- 2005: Second Well in Middleton.
- 2012: Third Well in South Shore.
- Hosted conferences and workshops including ‘Lead Like Jesus Now’, ‘Boundaries’, ‘Transform’, ‘Effective Church Governance’, and online webinars.
- Attendance now includes leaders from over twenty denominations.
Since its beginning, The Well has maintained its commitment to healthy leaders and collaborative ministry, continuing to grow and equip pastoral leaders across the province.
