Sound the Trumpet Preaching Conference serves as a Churchwide gathering to learn and grow in strength and solidarity. The conference is steeped in the best of the Black Church Tradition. Preaching methods and models will be displayed throughout the conference. We are excited to raise awareness of the Black preaching art of form. "BLACK PREACHING IS AN ART FORM. IT COMFORTS THE AFFLICTED AND AFFLICTS THE COMFORTABLE." Harold Smith
