St. Thomas Anglican Church, Gainesville, VA, is hosting a preaching course called Equipped to Preach the Word, in partnership with the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion.

The purpose of the Equipped to Preach the Word Course is to put resources into the hands of those who long, under God, to become faithful and effective Bible preachers and teachers. This course helps you to acquire and develop the necessary practical tools and skills to expound the Bible's message. This includes both the preparation of the text and the presentation of the preaching/teaching, so as to connect that message to our contemporary cultures. The course seeks also to motivate the preacher/teacher to progress and perseverance, through spiritual encouragement, not only to be a skilled workman, but also to be maturing as a humble servant, whom God can use.

Topics include: the nature and necessity of revelation, interpretation, and application; apostolic priorities and practice; contemporary challenges in the culture and the church; careful reading and thoughtful analysis of Scripture; watching your life and doctrine; the Word of Christ dwelling in us richly. Sign up here.

This course is presented in partnership with the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion - USA. One of EFAC's goals is to "encourage and provide training for Biblical preaching and teaching in the Episcopal and Anglican churches."

 There is a worldwide need for the Word of God to be proclaimed and for Christians to be more deeply rooted in its truth. That is the heartbeat of Equipped to Preach the Word.
