Compelling preaching initiative of the Northwestern PA, Allegheny, and Upper Susquehanna Synods of ELCA.
It's no secret that the rural and small-member congregations in our three synods are in a crisis. There are simply not enough gifted, active preachers, either ordained or lay, to meet the needs of our communities. This project seeks to equip new and veteran preachers with the skills and tools necessary to:
To train compelling preachers to use new media to share the gospel.
To recruit and train aspiring individuals to be preachers.
To create compelling preaching content centralized right here on this site so that everyday Christians can grow in their faith.
