Theology of Preaching at St. Paul's:
The preaching ministry at St. Paul’s is directed by the Holy Spirit to build up the St. Paul’s congregation in a Free Methodist context. In our preaching, we submit to the full witness of Christian Scripture and practice a “rotating pulpit” approach because we believe different Christian perspectives and voices are gifts from God. In hearing God’s word preached by pastors and lay people, students and professors, old and young, we become the people of God. Even in our human and feeble efforts to speak on God’s behalf, God proves faithful in addressing us, helping us become the reconciled and restored people of God in our time and place.
Preaching comes out of theological training, homiletic practice, particular calling, and life experience. Because we seek the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit in all things, we acknowledge the ways in which theological training and homiletic practice may exclude voices we need to hear, and so our pastoral team is committed to mentoring those who are willing to serve in the preaching ministry.
