Castleton CORE Classes
We believe that one of the primary roles of the church is to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). While Sunday morning worship is the most important time of equipping the body, we also think it’s important to provide additional opportunities for further growth and understanding of God and His Word.
What are CORE classes?
CORE classes range from four to eight weeks long and function as our adult education hour. We call it the Castleton Core because we focus primarily on the core doctrines and disciplines of the Bible. These classes are designed to help all believers grow in their understanding of what Scriptures says about life and practice. These classes are offered Wednesday nights from 7 - 8:15 p.m. throughout the year.
