The CORE Is Even Less Than a Stinky Bar
And a Groeschel Slogan

This will soon be the third home for The CORE in as many years.

Is CORE even a church? I see it talks about Baptism and the Lord's Supper on its web site, but does it actually offer them? And if it does, does it do it in a way that shows the sacraments are central to the definition of the Church?:

"The Church is the congregation of saints, in which the Gospel is rightly taught and the Sacraments are rightly administered." - Augsburg Confession, Article VII: "Of the Church".

GJ - The CORE has pretended being a separate congregation since it began. Unless things have changed, The CORE is simply a name attached to Glende's sheep-stealing program, a Sunday evening sermon direct from the Groeschel website. Copying and pasting is so laborious that Ski needs an assistant.

Rather than respect their brother pastors' work, the Church and Changers in WELS set out to drain members from nearby congregations. They have 100% support from WELS and the DPs.

Gunn's operation is almost the same in Phoenix, aimed at local WELS congregations,  endorsed by WELS and DP Buchholz.

Glend's pal at the fake blog did the same near Larry Olson's parish Love Park.

Another one can be found in Indianapolis.

Joel, that's great! So, CORE offers Holy Communion as the Lutheran Church describes it?:

"...we do not abolish the Mass, but religiously maintain and defend it. For among us masses are celebrated every Lord's Day and on the other festivals, in which the Sacrament is offered to those who wish to use it, after they have been examined and absolved. And the usual public ceremonies are observed, the series of lessons, of prayers, vestments, and other like things." - Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Article XXIV: "Of the Mass."
