  Institutes Evening School Distance Learning Certificate Program

Certificate in Expository Preaching 2010

This program provides intensive teaching and training in the art of expository preaching. The goal is to encourage and equip expositors of the Word of God to "rightly divide the Word of truth" in the power of the Holy Spirit. Also, the program seeks to form a fellowship of preachers who are willing to commit themselves to a ministry of faithful Biblical exposition.

The candidate for the program will be required to go through an application process in which he or she will provide information about personal spiritual experience, basic doctrinal commitments, and one's approach to expository preaching. Candidates will then be required to take the institute courses provided onsite at the Stephen Olford Center and/or by distance learning, complete a book review and required assignments and exams. The various Olford Institutes will be an integral part of the program as well as the Practical Preaching Workshop.

Following completion of the Certificate Program requirements, the candidate may choose to complete a further step to become a Stephen Olford Fellow in Expository Preaching.

All details of the Certificate in Expository Preaching Program and the Fellowship of Preaching will be contained in a handbook for this program. (coming soon)

Please contact The Stephen Olford Center at Union University for further details.
