Preaching Matters.png

​Preaching is our way to proclaim God’s Word and reveal His truth to His people. A solid preacher, grounded in Scripture and led by the Holy Spirit, bridges the gap between Biblical wisdom and present-day life, helping us understand and apply God’s message in a meaningful way and drawing us closer to God. 

 

For those exploring a calling to ordained ministry, curious about the art of preaching, or looking for resources to deepen their skills, below you'll find materials below to equip and support you in faithfully representing God’s truth.

We have been running this free course since June 2023, which aims to cover the fundamentals of preaching in a way that is engaging for new and experienced preachers of all denominations. Please see below the videos of each session, and their accompanying notes.
