All Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ. This means Christians are called to learn of who Jesus is and what he teaches us to obey. We are therefore lifelong learners in the pursuit of knowing and loving God more with each passing day. A greater knowledge of God leads to a greater love for God and our neighbor as expressed in practical acts of love and service.
At FCC part of our pathway to greater spiritual maturity takes place in Core Classes. Core Classes serve as a discipleship-focused studies that establish participants in the foundational aspects of Scripture and theology. Classes will delve into the intricate details and overarching truths of our faith, exploring theology, ministry, and GOd’s authored history. These studies aim to equip the learner to understand and apply God’s unchanging truth. By pursuing personal study, group discussion, and teaching time, Core Classes foster both Biblical literacy and theological education in an active learning environment.
