Each year we invite approximately twenty-five outstanding preachers and professors of homiletics from diverse backgrounds, traditions, and ministry settings to engage the complexities of today’s culture through the wideness of God’s grace and varied presence as revealed to us through the witness of Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ. When selecting presenters, the Festival of Homiletics is committed to offering a diverse slate of voices depending on the chosen theme, participant evaluations from previous years, financial stewardship, and speaker availability.
