Preaching Gathering - September 9-11, 2014

Is your preaching changing the hearts and lives of your people? Do you desire to become a better communicator to reach the lost in your community? Each weekend, 55 million people listen to 1 billion words in sermons given across America. Yet research shows that the #1 complaint people have is that sermons are boring and don't relate to their lives. The simple fact is that preaching makes or breaks a church.

This three day conference will help you develop creative approaches, strategies, and techniques to communicate the only message that can truly change a person's life. It's practical information that is transferable, regardless of church size, denomination or cultural-context.
