CORE Classes meet for a specific number of weeks and cover a specific topic. These classes are geared toward classroom learning. If you want deeper, thorough teaching on a particular topic, then CORE Classes are just what you're looking for. Unless otherwise noted, all CORE Classes meet for the four weeks in the month they begin in. Pre-registration is not required to attend a CORE Class.
Taught by Don Sanders and Curt Hensley
Meets at 9:15am in Room CH102
During ancient times (and still today is some parts of the world), Christians would gather around 9:00am for prayer and Bible study. This sacred time of the day was called Terce, or The Third Hour. This new class will use this ancient practice to launch a new type of CORE Class at HCC. In Hebrews 5:12, the author says, “You need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God.” This year-long class will focus on the basic principles of the Bible. We will cover four basic topics that every Christian should be familiar with: the origins, content, interpretation, and personal study of the Bible. Pick up a brochure for specific class topics. So, whether you’ve become a Christian recently or have been for a long time, you’ll benefit from learning more about the Bible. This class will repeat next year, so feel free to join in at any time.

Mind Games
Taught by Barb Nelson
Meets at 9:15am in Room CH103 in August
God created us with an awesome mind. It thinks ... it feels ... it is the center for our wills. With all that power, it can be a battlefield between thoughts that honor God and others that don't. This study of the mind will help you better understand how the mind works and will provide weapons needed to fight the battles you face and WIN!
