Preachers’ College | Next Date To Be Announced

Are you called to preach the Word of God but have not had a chance to learn how?

In the spirit of C.H. Spurgeon’s effective school for training preachers, the Center for Preaching is pleased to provide Preachers’ College.

Preachers’ College is designed to give training in basic preaching principles in an intensive seminar to lay members who occasionally preach in their churches. The purpose is to provide men and women who have been called to preach with the essential tools needed to compose and present biblical, relevant, and effective sermons.
