CORE Classes

The Apostle Paul charged the leaders in the Ephesian church to "equip the saints for the work of ministry." The church is to be a learning-and-teaching fellowship in which the passing on of the faith is central.

CORE classes are designed to ground and grow our people in the gospel and its implications for doctrine, devotion, duty, and delight. Our goal for CORE Ministry Training is to train and equip every person for fruitful personal ministry in the context of the church body and in the world.

We teach five CORE classes that we feel will adequately equip you for ministry within our church and out in the community.

1. Gospel - The gospel in its simplicity and depth.
2. Story - The story of redemption of which the gospel is the climax.
3. Doctrine - The doctrines of the faith that conform to the gospel.
4. Community - The power in the gospel that flows from our relationship with God.
5. Mission- The manner of living that conforms to the truth of the gospel.

The next semester of CORE begins on January 18th. In January we will be teaching Gospel, Story, and Doctrine. There will also be one book study from the Bible.
