Preaching Workshop - Christchurch

Preaching Workshop with John Tucker. Saturday 6th September, 2025.

Description

Are you interested in preaching, but never had any formal training? Are you a seasoned preacher, and you’re wanting to develop emerging preachers in your church? Or do you simply want to sharpen up your own preaching skills? If your answer is yes, then this practical, and interactive training seminar is for you. It will provide a basic introduction to the principles and practices of preaching sermons that are both faithful to Scripture and engaging for listeners. We’ll cover topics like:

  • How to conceive the message
  • How to shape the message

  • How to apply the truth
  • How to deliver the sermon

This is an in-person only event being offered in Christchurch at Oxford Terrace Baptist Church.
