🎙️ Preaching Specialization
Proclaiming the Word of God with Clarity, Passion, and Power
The Preaching Specialization equips clergy to faithfully proclaim God’s Word in a way that transforms lives, builds up the Church, and reaches the lost. Whether you’re preaching in a church, small group, house church, or online ministry, this specialization gives you the biblical knowledge, historical perspective, and practical tools to preach with both confidence and conviction.
This credential is ideal for ministers, chaplains, and officiants called to regularly teach or preach the Scriptures in various ministry settings.
💬 Why It Matters
Preaching has always been at the heart of the Church's mission. In every generation, God raises up voices to declare His truth and call people to repentance, hope, and new life in Christ. But preaching is not merely public speaking—it’s a spiritual act of service and proclamation that requires preparation, humility, and anointing.
This specialization matters because it forms preachers who are biblically grounded, historically aware, and Spirit-led. You’ll not only learn to prepare and deliver effective sermons—you’ll understand the sacred responsibility of being a herald of the Gospel.
