Forming Preachers and Improving the Quality of Preaching

This program for training and certifying coaches is no longer available as a free-standing certification program. It is anticipated that it will be integrated into Vanderbilt’s new DMin program in Homiletics (forthcoming). To find a coach to work with there is a link above.

The David G. Buttrick Certificate Program in Homiletic Peer Coaching, funded by the Lilly Endowment, is aimed at forming preachers and improving the quality of preaching. The program has been named to honor former Vanderbilt preaching professor David G. Buttrick. The program will train and certify peer-group coaches to initiate and successfully lead peer-groups for preachers.
