This is a hands-on preaching and digital ministry course for new preachers. Learn to preach from the ground up comfortable in the pulpit and online. This will NOT be manuscript preaching! We will practice a conversational, video-friendly, note-free sharing of Good News.

Preachers will learn to:

  • Use the ‘Triangle Preaching Process’ – Scripture, situation, self.
  • Create and upload video sermons – even when you preach in-person.
  • Develop sermon study resources – and why you shouldn’t preach your exegesis!
  • Give constructive feedback to others – and how this makes us better preachers.

The goal of this course is growing in comfort and skill as the preacher you are called to be.

Instructor: The Rev. Cathie Caimano (‘Fr. Cathie’) is an Episcopal priest of over 20 years and the CEO (‘Chief Evangelism Officer’) of Free Range Priest, empowering clergy and congregations to reimagine ministry in the digital age. She’s also the founder of Bring Church to People, an online community for ministers ‘doing’ and being church in new ways. She lives with her husband and adorable Great Dane near Charlotte, NC, and gets all her best ideas while running. She’s been teaching preaching at CALL for six years – and so grateful for the experience.
