Word From Your Instructor
For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to studying the art of preaching. Drawing from both academic training and real-world ministry experience, I am excited to share practical insights and proven strategies to help you communicate God's Word with clarity, power, and biblical faithfulness.
This course is designed for anyone—whether a beginner or a seasoned minister—who desires to grow in their ability to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you’re ready to deepen your understanding and sharpen your preaching, let’s begin this journey together!
—Pastor Jeremy Rangel Jr
Our course dates are set for the following in-person sessions, but you will also receive access to course materials in PDF format, along with short videos breaking down each topic for deeper understanding. My prayer is that this course equips and strengthens you in handling God’s Word with wisdom and boldness.
“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” —2 Timothy 4:2 (NIV)
May this journey deepen your faith, sharpen your calling, and empower you to teach and preach with confidence!
