Biblical Teaching and Preaching School

About the course

Overview

The school aims to equip students who already have a thorough understanding of Scripture for a ministry of teaching and preaching in churches or on the mission field. Students learn practical skills in effective communication of God’s word and are mentored on how to prepare teachings and sermons. Alongside ministry development, there’s an emphasis on the student’s continued character growth, recognizing the authority of a speaker lies in the integrity of their lives. The intended result is the preaching and teaching of a message rooted in an accurate interpretation of the Bible and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
