OC Events

Co-sponsored by OC Church Resources and HOPE Network

For the Greeks, kerygma was the word used for the content of a proclamation. For disciples of Jesus, kerygma is the core message of God's salvation history being fulfilled in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 2:2-5, this conference explores various aspects of the preaching life in proclaiming the content and life of faith in Jesus Christ.

At Kerygma, you will be encouraged, challenged and equipped in thinking biblically, theologically and practically as a preacher. Sessions will focus on both the content and the craft of preaching in sharing the gospel and life.

Thanks for an excellent Kerygma event. I enjoyed being able to sit in on all the excellent content!

Thank you for hosting Kerygma. I absolutely loved it. The food was great. The speakers were fantastic and I enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow ministers in the trenches. I'm already ready for next year! Thanks for the kingdom work!
