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.

2022 CORE Class Schedule

Simple Money

Jan. 12 - Feb. 2 Are finances a constant stress in your home? Are you struggling to give when faced with a mountain of debt? Are you looking for some practical help stewarding your money in 2022? We hope you'll consider attending our upcoming 4-Week Core Class focused on helping you manage your finances with wisdom that comes from God's Word. We know managing money is a daily battle and we want to do our best to help our congregation fight the financial temptations of the world and follow God's plan and wisdom for our money.

Brian Landis, who has a heart for helping people manage their finances, will be using God's word and the book Your Money Made Simple by Russ Crosson, to help our congregation navigate the complex world of budgeting, giving, investing and overall stewarding of money under God's reign and rule.

At the end of the class, anyone who completes the weekly assignments will be eligible to receive one free financial counseling session with a financial planner in the church. We hope many take advantage of this great opportunity!
