Core Classes are a “next step, next level” training designed to help disciples discover how the Bible, the Gospel, theology, and real-world life intersect. These classes are key to Living Hope’s commitment to “equip the saints for the work of ministry…to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity…in every way into Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12-15, CSB)
