About Grace Church Preaching Conferences
We have a strong conviction at Grace Church that preaching is central to Pastoral Ministry. Our Church motto is this: "When the Bible is taught, God's voice is heard."
However, opportunities to receive encouragement and ongoing training in Biblical preaching can be scarce. There is plenty of material to read and numerous conferences to attend on Church planting, Church growth, etc., but very little on this 'bread and butter' aspect of ministry. And so, our pulpits often end up filled with disheartened, discouraged and, dare we say it, even boring preachers, rather than passionate and relevant expositors of God's living Word.
Therefore since 2003 we have hosted a number of conferences to enthuse and strengthen preachers. These have often focused on the basics of preaching and on doing these basics excellently and faithfully.
Our speakers have included world renowned Bible Expositors including Dick Lucas, David Jackman amongst others. This year we are thrilled to welcome Christopher Ash - who not only has plenty of first-hand experience as a preacher, author and Church planter, but currently works full time training preachers in London, England.
