The fundamental value of biblical teaching and preaching for the well-being of the church cannot be overstated. When looking at the history of the church, it is clear that teaching and preaching played a primary role in its growth and effectiveness. The Czech Reformation itself was started by a movement of men calling for others to preach the truth. Jan Milíč, Jan Hus,and others embraced the importance of teaching and preaching and labored earnestly not only to exhort their people through preaching, but also to prepare other men for the task of teaching and preaching. We too view teaching and preaching with the same importance as our forefathers, and so it is our aim to train men to exposit God’s Word.
This program is designed for graduates of the Bible Survey Program or a similar program. It is designed for men who desire to grow in their understanding of God’s Word and to minister it to others. This program will benefit those who desire to lead a Bible study, lead a youth group, or preach from the pulpit.
The program is divided into two part – year one and year two.
