MOBILE, Ala. – Pastors and ministry leaders across the Gulf Coast are invited to join the University of Mobile and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for the Practices of Christ-Centered Preaching Workshop, a one-day event designed to strengthen and equip those called to faithfully proclaim God’s Word.

Taking place Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, on the University of Mobile campus, the workshop will provide practical instruction, biblical encouragement and opportunities for fellowship as pastors and ministry leaders seek to grow in the ministry of preaching.

Through teaching, guided discussion and interaction with experienced preachers, participants will explore biblical preaching and address the challenges of communicating Scripture with clarity, conviction and faithfulness.

The workshop will feature two respected voices in theological education and pastoral ministry: Jason Allen, president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and H. B. Charles Jr., lead pastor of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida.

Whether participants have been preaching for decades or are just beginning their ministry journey, the Practices of Christ-Centered Preaching Workshop will offer practical tools, theological depth and biblical wisdom to help ministry leaders proclaim Christ through every passage of Scripture.

The workshop is also open to those who teach God’s Word in settings like adult Bible studies, women’s ministry, student ministry and other teaching ministries.
