The Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching

Welcome to the Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, a center that exists to equip pastors and lay preachers to communicate God’s word effectively.

Dr. Haddon W. Robinson, former President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and longtime faculty member, is one of the world’s foremost experts in Biblical preaching. He gave God his all  and preached Christ’s all for us. Learn more about his life and legacy in Remembering Haddon Robinson.

If this is your first time visiting us, start with our weekly podcast, Preaching Points.  For those who are just starting out in the study of preaching, you will benefit from spending a few days with our faculty at the Preachers’ College. And if you would like help on a sermon you are currently preparing or have recently preached, check out Sermon Doctor Rx.
