You can enhance your preaching skills by taking some of the modules provided by the colleges through their local leader training programmes.  (Please see local church leadership for more details.)  In addition to the biblical study and preaching modules, you can take modules on the basics of Christian belief, spirituality, and leading worship. The module on Baptist history and principles will enable your preaching to reflect our common story and values. The taught content of each module is followed by optional assignments that can help you embed the learning. Successfully completed assignments can count towards the academic component necessary for becoming a Recognised Local Minister.
