The National Conference on Preaching has been held annually since 1989 and regularly draws hundreds of pastors and church leaders representing many denominations and locations across the United States.
“This annual event is a strategic gathering point for pastors and others who are serious about strengthening their proclamation of God’s Word,” explains Michael Duduit, executive editor of Preaching magazine. “Participants benefit from the insights of some of America’s finest preachers and teachers of preaching and enjoy engaging with other church leaders.”
The annual conference is sponsored by Preaching magazine (www.preaching.org) and Clamp Divinity School of Anderson University in Anderson, SC. Past conferences have been held in cities across the U.S., including Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte, Nashville, Dallas and Washington DC.
