“90% of unchurched people choose a church based on the pastor or preaching”—Thom Rainer
This quote summarizes the heart behind Preach Better Sermons – a free online event where pastors learn from other pastors about how to get better at preparing and delivering sermons.
In short, this event will help your church grow because your preaching improves. Check out what you’ll learn to help with your next sermon:
