In the rich tradition of the Black church, preaching holds a central and revered role. The ability to deliver compelling sermons that resonate with congregants is both an art and a skill that can be honed through dedicated study and practice. This 8-week, synchronous course aims to optimize the preaching experience and empower preachers to deliver impactful sermons that resonate with their communities and beyond.
