PASTORAL PREACHING SEMINAR

Pastors, preachers, and church leaders are invited to join The Rephidim Project for a one-day Pastoral Preaching Seminar on Tuesday, September 8, at East Auburn Baptist Church in Auburn, Maine.

This practical seminar is designed to help you frame sermons that are faithful to the biblical text and thoughtfully shaped for the people God has entrusted to your care.

Led by David Christensen (ThM, DMin), founder and president of The Rephidim Project, and Russ Cotnoir, Director of Pastoral Resources, the seminar will focus on what it means to preach as a shepherd who knows and loves the flock before him.

God calls pastors to “shepherd the flock of God among you” (1 Peter 5:2). Every congregation is unique. While the message of Scripture does not change, faithful pastoral preaching requires us to think carefully about how we frame that message for the people we serve.

Throughout the day, David and Russ will explore practical principles for developing text-driven sermons that remain faithful to God’s Word while intentionally serving the flock you love and shepherd.

📅 Tuesday, September 8, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM–3:30 PM
📍 East Auburn Baptist Church
560 Park Avenue, Auburn, Maine

There is NO COST to attend. Others have covered your seminar participation as a gift to encourage you in your ministry.

You were not meant to minister alone.

Serving others is a profound joy, but it can also feel heavy and isolating at times. Whether you are directing a women’s ministry, leading a Bible study, or serving in another capacity, you are often the one faithfully pouring out.

This is why we created the Women’s Equipping Cohort.

Not just a place to learn, but a place to be known.
Not just content to move through, but people to move with.

In this inaugural cohort, there is space for 12 women to move through all four courses together, building deep trust and shared wisdom along the way.

Through a hybrid experience that includes online study, regular personal interactions, and an in-person retreat, you will learn and grow alongside a group of sisters in Christ.

With intentional rhythms of connection:
• Bi-weekly Zoom discussions
• Ministry triads for prayer and support
• A meaningful in-person retreat

Fall 2026 Cohort now open for registration!
