This year for the first time, the NCP program will also include two optional seminars on Monday morning, preceding the start of the main program that afternoon. These seminars will offer three hours of intensive training on key topics, led by a pair of outstanding teachers:

Developing a Biblical Sermon, led by Timothy Warren

This seminar gets back to basics, dealing with the foundational issues of creating expository sermons, led by a veteran Dallas Seminary professor and local church pastor. A perfect choice for young pastors or those who’d like a refresher on expository messages.

Preaching in the New Church Setting, led by Mark Batterson

Mark is known for his innovative leadership in creating National Community Church in Washington, DC, which meets in area movie theaters. In this seminar Mark will deal with the unique challenges and opportunities for preaching in new churches. A great seminar for church planters or mission pastors!
