Building a strategic and collaborative preaching team that benefits the senior pastor, the staff, and the church.

How To Build A Preaching Team is an online masterclass designed to give you the tools to intentionally build a collaborative teaching team approach for your Sunday sermons. If done strategically, this approach will alleviate pressure on the senior pastor, encourage and develop your staff, and bless your congregation with a diversity of voices! Taught by teaching pastor Andy Klenke, this course will share some of his learnings and best practices on how to empower, equip, and invest in a teaching team. This course will cover the benefits of a preaching team and will help you discern what types of people should be on your team. It will also introduce you to "Preaching Camp," the bread and butter of an effective teaching team.

In addition to helping each other craft individual sermons, this course will also help equip your team to plan series together, including presenting you with a helpful series planning tool to keep your team  focused and aligned on common series goals. And perhaps most importantly, this course will emphasize the type of feedback that should be given to communicators and encourages a posture of learning and humility as your team strives to become the best communicators possible.
