Additionally, as a pastor who preaches weekly I constantlyrely upon the theory, skills, and practice learned from my time in the Th.M.program. For anyone looking to further ones knowledge and skills for eitherchurch practice or academic progress, I would highly recommend workingthrough Gordon-Conwells Th.M.Casey Barton (2003) 10. I am certain that I am a better preacher because of the Th.M. in preaching atGordon-Conwell. The skills I developed in that program are being used to makean eternal difference in my congregation.Eric Dokken (2007) 11. I came to understand that effective preaching embraces the needs of thecongregation. Effective preaching exposes the speaker and the hearer to theWord of God. Effective preaching saturates them with a wisdom that transformsknowledge into understanding. It is clear and concise. Effective preachingengages the listener attentively so that they not only hear, but listen to theGospel. It embraces the needs of the congregation and lays those needs at theirfeet.My studies at GCTS reaffirmed this knowledge, and confirmed the depth of thatresponsibility. In classes, we interactively explored many different perspectiveson preaching through reading, preaching, discussion, exegesis, delivery,vocabulary, and storytelling. The GCTS Th.M. program in Preaching wasrigorous and sharpened our minds as preachers. I thoroughly enjoyed everymoment.Laurette Harper (2012) 12. By far the biggest surprise to me when I became a Senior Pastor was howchallenging it is to communicate the Word of God creatively, effectively, andbiblically week in and week out. Nothing has done more to prepare me for thatchallenge than the Th. M. in Preaching from Gordon-Conwell TheologicalSeminary.Anybody can preach one sermon, but preaching forty to fifty times year afteryear takes determination and preparation. The determination comes from theLord, the preparation I got at Gordon -Conwell in the Th.M. in preaching.Ou tside of the Holy Spirit nothing has contributed more to my effectivecommunication of the Word of God than my time spent at Gordon -Conwell inthe Th.M. in Preaching.
