Compelling Preaching Certificate
Transformative Preaching for Today's World
Engage. Empower. Transform.
You see it throughout the Gospels: small changes in the way we preach can have a profound impact on our communities. That’s why the Compelling Preaching Certificate Program is designed to bridge traditional preaching with the urgent needs of our contemporary, diverse audiences. Discover how postcolonial perspectives can rejuvenate your sermons and resonate deeply within your congregation.
Impactful Preaching Made Accessible
This unique program not only addresses the art and science of sermon crafting, but also emphasizes the importance of a preacher’s personal transformation and the spiritual growth of their audience. Expect to explore innovative preaching methods and platforms, including social media, to spread messages that inspire action and change.
Real Skills, Real Transformation
Postcolonial preaching celebrates global cultures, histories and experiences, pushing against traditional church and societal narratives and power dynamics. It aims to elevate the voices of those often sidelined, tackling issues such as injustice, oppression and the impacts of colonialism with the Gospel’s perspective. Our program highlights the need to connect with and understand diverse communities, recognizing their specific challenges and hopes. By applying a postcolonial lens, we make preaching richer and enable congregations to take an active role in social change, creating a more welcoming, understanding and lively faith community. This program equips you to overcome divisions and motivate your congregation to apply the Gospel in ways that are truly meaningful and make a difference.
