Center for Compelling Preaching Resources

Resourcing Preachers for a Divided, Digital World

The Center for Compelling Preaching, made possible by a Lilly Endowment grant, helps active and aspiring preachers proclaim the gospel in ways that are engaging and effective across today’s cultural and digital divides. Through Preaching Peer Groups — small cohorts built around in-person retreats and monthly virtual mentor-led gatherings — and through conferences and seminars held throughout the year, the Center gives preachers a place to learn, collaborate, and grow. Browse the resources below, or connect with a mentor for personal feedback on your own preaching.
