CrossTalk America
Preaching is easy!
Or is it?
- Do you feel the weight of having to “rightly divide the word of truth”?
- And then deliver that truth with the transforming power of the Holy Spirit?
- To people who came to church with very different backgrounds and concerns?
- And doing so every week?
If you long to preach God’s Word more accurately and effectively, CrossTalk Global can help.
CrossTalk Global provides the skill-based, results-oriented,
continuing education that you’ve been looking for.
Cohort-Based
We believe the best learning occurs within relationships, so we limit the size of our classes. Here you can develop strong relationships with people who share your passion and will enrich your ministry.
Faculty-Mentor Led
Our coaches are recognized experts who will walk with you throughout the program. And they will share their lives as well as their expertise along the way.
Culturally Aware
Our international expertise
ensures that the way you preach will resonate with your culture.
Practitioner-Sensitive
We believe that learning is
doing and won’t ask you to write papers and book reports. Your assignments will be integrated into and designed to assist your ministry.
Spiritual Formation-Focused
We believe that truly effective preachers first apply God’s word to themselves. We shape lives
with Scripture while shaping sermons from Scripture.
CrossTalk’s unique program won’t interrupt your ministry.
The program consists of six, one-week instructional sessions held every six months over 2 1/2 years.
Class schedules ensure you will never miss a Sunday!
