Equipping Preachers: Highlights from the Annual Preaching Workshop

Over 70 pastors, ministry leaders, and Bible teachers from 25+ churches and mission organisations gathered at Brisbane School of Theology for our Annual Preaching Workshop.

Under the expert guidance of Mike Raiter and Rev. Dr. Chris Luthy, we dove deep into the art of crafting impactful sermon introductions and relatable illustrations.

What made the day stand out was seeing participants work together—sharing insights, brainstorming ideas, and growing alongside one another.

Highlights from the Day:
Collaborative group work
: Participants brainstormed sermon introductions and illustrations in groups, sharing their ideas with the entire room. It was inspiring to see how each person approached the same passage with fresh perspectives.

Team growth: Many churches brought their entire preaching team, fostering a shared enthusiasm and equipping them to move forward together.

Cross-generational connections: From seasoned preachers to young adults just beginning their preaching journeys, it was a blessing to see people across generations and denominations learning and growing together.

We were encouraged by the passion and commitment of everyone who joined us to faithfully teach the Word of God. A big thank you to Mike and Chris for their outstanding teaching!

We look forward to more events like this that equip and encourage ministry leaders across South East Queensland. Stay tuned for more details!
