College of Preachers

We are here to help preachers. We offer group and individual training; day events and residential conferences; open-learning courses; resource material in our Journal and on our website.

We're a network of preachers some experienced and some new to the task, ordained and lay, from different denominations and traditions, drawn together by a shared belief that good preaching matters, who want to help each other fulfill their preaching ministry.

TO INDIVIDUALS we offer varied opportunities to enrich preaching, in particular through
• open seminars for basic and more advanced preaching tuition, and discussion of important issues for preachers
• our conferences, occasions to meet leading preachers from this and other countries, to attend workshops run by College tutors, and to share fellowship and experiences with other preachers
• regular resource material including articles, sermons and reviews
• a postal library service
• options for further study leading to a certificate or masters degree in theology (preaching).

OUR WEBSITE provides information about all the current activities of the College, how to become a member or renew your subscription on-line, and how to contact us.

 news, articles, book reviews, sermon notes

WE BELIEVE THAT
the preaching task is God’s calling
faithful preaching is vital to the worship of the church and the sharing of the gospel
preaching should be fresh, biblical and directly relevant to contemporary experience and events
there are different ways of preaching, and it is important to explore and develop them all
preachers can all learn from each other.

We warmly welcome new members wanting to develop and share their gifts.
