Most pastors identify sermon preparation as a lonely, isolated aspect of their ministry responsibilities. It doesn’t have to be this way. Using the tools available to most of us, First Family Church has developed a team teaching approach to sermon preparation that provides both the benefits of team collaboration and research while maintaining the essential element of Spirit-led application that is often rooted in individual life stories. In this workshop, you will learn how to begin a teaching team in your church, even if you are the sole teaching pastor.
