Preaching
Improve your preaching this summer by signing up for our SCBA Preaching ILF. This will be a unique experience over Zoom that will last for 8 sessions. This is not only for pastors, but anyone who teaches or preaches. Also, it is open to non-SCBA ministers.
We will have a morning session that will likely work better for our full-time ministers. And we will have an evening session that will be more accessible for our bi-vocational ministers. However, any minister can participate in either group!
You will need to be able to share your sermons or teaching with the group and group facilitators--both audio and video.
THE DETAILS...
We will read and discuss this short and very readable book: Small Preaching: 25 Little Things You Can Do Now to Make You a Better Preacher – by Jonathan T. Pennington
We will use this to evaluate: SCBA Sermon Evaluation Tool
