Preaching Ministry
Preaching Ministry
Someone once said, “If God calls you to be a preacher, don’t stoop to being a king.” Because we believe in the high calling of pastoral work, our Preaching Ministry program is designed to help students become effective vocational senior pastors who are equipped to lead others and clearly communicate Scriptural truths to a modern audience.
