Overall church worship attendance in the United States has been declining for at least the past 30 years. During that time there has also been a decline in civility, honesty, integrity and compassion in our society. If we want to reverse the decline in spiritual values such as faith, hope, love, joy, forgiveness, peace and patience, we need to strengthen our congregations.
United Theological Seminary seeks to help transform our world and renew the Church by preparing effective Christ-centered pastors and local church leaders who inspire the people in our congregations to lives of greater love for God and others. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to equip leaders to become more effective preachers and communicators of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
On Aug.16-18, 2016, United is hosting our 15th Annual Summer Preaching Seminar, featuring Dr. Marvin McMickle, President of Colgate Rochester Seminary in Rochester, New York, as our preacher and leader. The focus of this three-day seminar is "Be My Witness: A Theology of Preaching for the 21st Century Based on Acts 1:6-8." The cost is $200.
