What is CORE?
Practical, Theological, Discipleship

These free courses consist of live teaching and are open to adults of all ages.
Course Descriptions
The Essence of ‘Good News’
The Gospels
This course explores the context, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ told through the four unique Gospel narratives. As arguably the most read books of the Bible, the Gospels offer so much more rich context and content that can deepen our faith and bring us closer to the person of Jesus.
Equip and Inspire Believers
Apologetics
This course is purposed to equip and inspire believers to share their faith and to be prepared to face hard and difficult conversations, as is increasingly common in our society. Some topics covered are morality, the distinction of Christianity, the proof of the resurrection, and the problem of pain.
