John Chapman Preaching Initiative

“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)

The John Chapman Preaching Initiative has been created from the legacy of the Australian preacher, Bible teacher and evangelist John Charles Chapman (‘Chappo’). It is intended to assist the development of preachers, one of Chappo’s characteristic passions.  We want to help preachers clearly proclaim Christ through the scriptures to bring about the obedience that comes through faith (Rom 16:25-27). 

Chappo believed that clear and persuasive preaching of God’s word was essential to the life of the church.  He taught and critiqued preaching at Moore College for many years and was instrumental, alongside Dudley Foord, in training ministers in expository preaching through the College of Preachers, first started in the 1970s. 

Building on his legacy, the John Chapman Preaching Initiative continues the work of developing both students and ministers in clear and persuasive expository preaching.  Currently, the initiative runs:

College of Preachers

The College of Preachers is a three-day residential intensive, training ministers in a Christ-centred, Scripture-based, and goal-oriented model of preaching. It includes time to put this training into practice as you prepare your next sermon and receive help and feedback from experienced preaching mentors.

This intensive is designed for men and women engaged in full-time ministry.

Plan Your Sermon Series

A full day of expert teaching and sermon planning, the Plan Your Sermon Series events offer individuals and staff teams guidance and support as they plan and prepare a sermon series for the coming year. These one-day events start with expert teaching on a book or topic from the Bible and provide time, space and resources for preparation of the series, concluding with opportunity for feedback and a question and answer session.

Student Preaching Groups

Preaching groups are available throughout the year for any student at Moore Theological College.  These groups focus on iterative learning, allowing students to regularly practice and reflect on their preaching.   The preaching groups are led by fourth-year students, who are trained and mentored by the JCPI co-ordinator, Tom Habib.
