Exploring Preaching in the UCA

An online course for anyone who wants to learn how to Preach in the UCA.

Exploring Preaching in the UCA has been created around the Preaching Competencies from the “Assembly Standards and Competencies for the Formation and Education for the Specified Ministry of Lay Preacher”. So, those training for the ministry of Lay Preaching, and those needing to undertake training for the Preaching Competencies for Pastors (as these are the same), can be assured they are receiving training to help them meet these competencies.

However, Exploring Preaching in the UCA is also a great course for:

people undertaking a Period of Discernment
Lay Preachers looking for some continuing education.

Exploring Preaching in the UCA covers:

where preaching ‘fits’ in Worship
ethical preaching
practical preaching skills
exegesis
planning to preach

Exploring Preaching in the UCA is offered through access to online learning materials and a Zoom class.

Internet not great at home? The unit is also designed so that the base material can be downloaded and saved to your computer. Others interested in learning in your Presbytery? Why don’t you learn together – and download your learning material to work on at home.
