Without a doubt, the church's place in the culture is in the midst of radical change, and its preachers face an unknown future. The Iowa Preachers Project at Grand View University provides a unique, supportive environment for the church's public proclaimers to hone their skills as well as a place to discover ways to deliver the gospel in this new environment.

​

In partnership with Mockingbird and 1517, and with funding from the Compelling Preaching Initiative of the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Project focuses on building the Body of Christ and on building preachers' skills in delivering compelling messages that bring the word of God to their congregations and the world beyond.

 

​Each year, the Project's preaching fellows are welcomed from across denominations, connect to faithful and worthy mentors and scholars, and explore the breadth and depth of the gospel with one another.
