ABOUT THIS SEMINAR

Each Didasko Seminar is designed to equip pastors, who are actively teaching in their churches, to teach the truth of the Bible to their congregations in a compelling way.

Do you want to... Deepen your grasp on the book of James? Engage in collaborative discussion about how to preach James? Jump start your prep for a sermon series on James?

Or maybe... Rekindle your passion to preach God’s Word? Make new connections with fellow teaching pastors who share your passion for relevant biblical preaching?

Join us for all of the above at Park Hills Church in Freeport, IL. Homemade breakfast, coffee, and hot lunches included.

Spend a week immersed in the Word of God in sharpening discussion with a small group of other teaching pastors from a variety of backgrounds. Leave feeling refreshed and equipped for your next sermon series. As one pastor said, "do what you can to be there - you will not regret it."

"Imagine getting big ideas and possible preaching outlines in collaboration with other pastor-teachers committed to biblical exposition, under the tutelage of a scholar who has done specialized work on a particular book of the Bible and with pastors committed to making it relevant—perhaps up to a half a year’s worth at a time. The Didasko Seminars make that possible and build new friends and collegiality that can last longer still. They are some of the most rewarding ministry events I’ve ever participated in."
