Core Sequence
Relational. Adaptable. Systematic - Based on 3 Spiritual Life Stages
Matthew Henry wrote, “All Christians are not of the same standing and stature; there are babes in Christ, there are grown men, and old disciples.” From 1 John 2:12-14 the Apostle John references three spiritual life stages: children, young men, and fathers. CORE provides a variety of discipleship materials for all three stages. These resources are organized in a suggested sequence: Beginnings/Children (A1-A9: “knowledge”); Intermediate/Students (B1-B9: “character”); and Seasoned/Adult (C1-C9: “conduct”). The purpose of these categories is to help you determine which materials are best suited for the spiritual maturity level of your Core Group.

Example 1: If you are a senior pastor just launching Core, we suggest you begin with 3 of your most spiritually mature men or women (click here for more information). In this instance, we would recommend beginning with the Core Leader's Guide and the Core Workbook/Manual for your initial Core Group.

Example 2: You are just beginning the Core discipleship process and you have 3 fairly new believers. We would suggest you begin with the Core Leader's Guide followed by Chrysalis, 21 Days To Breakthrough, Discovering God's Will, and so on through the chart.
