When you make a decision to follow Jesus, you are beginning the journey of a lifetime—a discipleship journey.

This journey is a lifelong pursuit of becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ, or what we call, a disciple.

A disciple is someone who is in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

The CORE gives you eight essentials on how to do just that.

The CORE will help you be engaged in God’s Word, equipped on the basics of the faith, and empowered to help others grow in Jesus Christ.

When you strengthen your CORE everything else benefits.
