Preaching Congregations

“Preaching is soul work … Strengthening preaching is not fundamentally about offering tips or teaching techniques, but about nourishing preachers and listeners for this challenging work.”

About the Program

Preaching Congregations Initiative (PCI), is a congregationally-based program of renewal and formation for preachers and listeners. The overarching purpose of this program is to make preaching a truly communal endeavor, one for which preachers and listeners take responsibility and develop local, sustainable practices to identify and support preachers.
