Core Classes is our adult education hour designed to help every believer in our Church grow in their knowledge of Scripture, develop a biblical worldview, and become increasingly able to apply the Gospel to every area of their lives. 
We at HCC recognize that Core Classes are better suited to address specific topics than a Sunday morning service or home group. Our Sunday service centers on preaching, a monologue intended to reach more of the heart than the mind. Similarly, our home group ministries emphasize more relational goals with some discussion around the Bible. Our Core Classes, though not neglecting the heart, aim more at loving God with our minds. And while our Core Classes will include monologues, they will also feature dialogue, a strength of the classroom setting.

Membership Matters
Next Class Offering - Begins April 12, 2026 (3-weeks)

If the Bible is the cornerstone of our Church, then membership is the cement that holds us all together. Both Christ and Paul pointed us toward membership for our encouragement, our protection, and our instruction.  Pastor Aaron leads the classes and they are offered twice a year in Spring and Fall, Sunday mornings.

I have questions
Ezekiel
Join us on March 15 through the end of April (no class on Easter)

For many people, the book of Ezekiel is a hard to read and a difficult to understand book.  Probably the main reason why people read it is that they are trying to read the entire Bible, and Ezekiel is just one of those books to plow through to reach the goal.

If so, there is a Core Class just for you.  Pastor Karl will be teaching a seven-week introduction to Ezekiel.  This is not a preaching series but an overview of the major ideas in Ezekiel.  In this course, you will learn:

  • The purpose of Ezekiel
  • The gospel in Ezekiel
  • Why you can’t read Ezekiel in the same way that you read Romans
  • Why you should even bother to try to read and understand Ezekiel
