Preaching & Shepherding Cohorts (local)

Calvary Nampa offers Preaching and Shepherding cohorts as able according to interest in the programs.

  • Preaching - 1x/month – An opportunity for both learning and practicing preaching amongst brothers who are all seeking to hone and sharpen those skills for God’s glory. Participants receive tips and instruction combined with opportunities for practicing “mini-sermons” with the cohort and receiving feedback and encouragement.
