HPC Discipleship Program

Trinitarianism: Who is God? Better yet, what is God? Can we know for certain that He exists? If so, how? How can God be one yet three? How can Christ be both God and man? Why didn't Christ know the time of His coming? We will be covering all this and more including how this relates to us in day to day life. 

This 10 week class on Trinitarianism will be starting Sunday, September 13th, 8 a.m. at the Counseling Office. The cost is $25 for the workbook. Sign up at church if you would like to take this class. Contact Chris Lenoir with any questions: chris@highpointealtoona.com.
