CORE Discipleship Classes

The purpose of a CORE Discipleship class is to allow Christians to be exposed to deeper, systematic studies based around Spiritual Habits. Over the course of the next several years, various classes will be offered on a variety of topics.

Our current CORE offerings are:

Sunday Morning-9:45 am

• NOOMA Series: (NOOMA is the Greek word for Spirit.)
  We can get anything we want, from anywhere in the world, whenever we want it. That’s how it is and that’s how we want it to be. Still, our lives aren’t any different than other generations before us. Our time is now. We want spiritual direction, but it has to be real for us and available when we need it. We want a new format for getting Christian perspectives. NOOMA is the new format. It is short films with communicators that really speak to us. Each NOOMA touches on issues that we care about, that we want to talk about, and it comes in a way that fits our world.
  This class meets in the Fellowship Hall.
  
• Christianity 101: This class is exploring the basic understanding of what it means to be in relationship with the Living God. We will see what God has revealed about Himself, His Word, who Jesus Christ is, the Holy Spirit, who we are as humans, redemption, the Church, and last things. Our aim is to bring everyone into a deeper relationship with the Triune God in order that we may all glorify Him in everything and in every situation. This class is led by Rev. Gray and meets in the Stalter Center, Room 122.
  
• A Women’s Group is studying The Jesus I Never
  Knew. In The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey reveals the real
  Jesus beyond the stereotypes, offering a new and different perspective on the life of Christ and His work---His teaching, His miracles, His death and resurrection---and ultimately, who He was and why He came. Relating the gospel events to the world we live in today, The Jesus I Never Knew, gives a moving and refreshing portrait of the central figure of history. This group meets in Candy Pendleton’s Office, Room 102.
  
  

Tuesday Evening 6:30 pm

• A Women’s Study: The Book of John. "I came so that they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." Sound appealing? The Book of John can help you to experience the power of truth, the power of life, in an indescribable, unbelievable new way. Read what John witnessed as he walked alongside Jesus, the Man who has had the greatest impact of all time upon our world--a Man whose message of raw truth, pure love, and clear purpose just might radically change your life.
  This group meets every other Tuesday evening at the home of Jacelyn Gray (249-7005) from 6:30p.m.-7:30 p.m.

Wednesday Evening-5:00 pm

• Women's Study of Introduction to Romans: Paul's letter to
  the Romans played a crucial role in shaping the faith of the first Christians. It presents some of the most thorough explanations of Christian theology and laid the cornerstone for the creeds and confessions of the church. From the fallen state of humankind to the limitless gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. The dual themes of God's righteousness and faithfulness strike an awe-inspiring harmony throughout the entire book. You are invited to join this group on a lifechanging journey to the heart of the New Testament's message. This group meets in the Stalter Center/Room 122 and is led by Louise Rusch.
  
• Sneak Peek - For a sneak peek on next week’s sermon, join us on Wednesday evening at 5:00 as Rev. Cruice or Rev. Gray leads a lively discussion centered around the next week’s sermon scripture and topic.

Wednesday Evening-6:30 pm

• Men's Group Study - Fellowship and Connecting: Connecting by Larry Crabb. In this book, Dr. Crabb envisions a day when communities of God's people - ordinary Christians, whose lives connect as husband to wife, brother to sister, friend to friend, - will accomplish most of the healing that we now depend on for mental health professionals to provide. God has deposited within us the power to heal “soul-disease” and that power is released to do its work as we relate to each other in revolutionary new ways. In challenging, practical language, Dr. Crabb shows us how. This book is for those who want to better learn how to connect with the hearts and souls of those around them.
