Teacher: Jeff Manning

Purpose:
This class explores Christian doctrine for a disciple’s life. Together, we will trace our confession to its root in the God who speaks and acts. We will follow the Apostles’ Creed outward into the three persons it actually confesses: the Father who creates and keeps covenant, the Son who takes on flesh and accomplishes redemption, and the Spirit who sanctifies believers and gathers them into the church. Participants will gain a working theology of the Christian faith along with the ability to recognize and resist the competing stories our culture tells about truth.

Each week will introduce key questions and a demonstration of how this part of our 2035 Vision is grounded in Christian Scripture and Doctrine, and why it matters for Christian Practice in everyday life.

Overview:
This Core Class is one of our Core Four classes, which cover Scripture, Doctrine, Practice, and Wisdom. We believe these are essential for a life of discipleship to Jesus Christ.
