The ‘Cornhill Training Course’ is a British evangelical Christian training programme based in London. It is run by The Proclamation Trust and focuses on training in expository preaching, Bible teaching, and pastoral ministry skills.
It operates as part of a wider set of training pathways offered by The Proclamation Trust, alongside other programmes including the Ministry Training Course and Cornhill Plus.
History
[edit]The Cornhill Training Course was established in 1991 by The Proclamation Trust. It is named after St Peter-upon-Cornhill in the City of London, where the course originally met.
The course developed out of a wider movement of expository preaching associated with the ministry of Dick Lucas at St Helen’s Bishopsgate in London and earlier preaching conferences in the 1980s.
Over time, Cornhill became part of a wider training framework within The Proclamation Trust aimed at equipping church leaders and Bible teachers in conservative evangelical churches.
Structure and format
[edit]The Cornhill Training Course is typically a two-year part-time programme combining classroom teaching, supervised practice talks, and mentoring within a local church context.
Students remain actively involved in local church ministry while training, reflecting the course’s emphasis on applied learning within church life.
Training is delivered through lectures, small-group teaching practice, and structured feedback on spoken Bible talks rather than written examinations.
Curriculum
[edit]The course includes training in:
- Biblical exegesis and exposition
- Biblical theology
- Systematic doctrine
- Preaching and teaching practice
- Pastoral application of Scripture
Students are required to deliver multiple supervised Bible talks during the course, with feedback provided by tutors and peers.
The programme also includes optional modules in areas such as youth ministry, children’s ministry, evangelistic preaching, and women’s ministry.
Organisation
[edit]The Cornhill Training Course is operated by The Proclamation Trust, a registered charity in England and Wales (charity number 1094952).
The Trust states that its aim is to multiply faithful Bible teaching and preaching through training and church partnership.
Cornhill is part of a wider suite of training programmes, including:
- Ministry Training Course (foundation level)
- Cornhill Training Course (core training)
- Cornhill Plus (advanced leadership training)
Reception and usage
[edit]The Cornhill Training Course is used by trainee ministers, church apprentices, youth workers, and lay church leaders across a range of evangelical churches in the United Kingdom.
It is frequently cited in evangelical training contexts as part of wider church-based ministerial formation pathways in the UK and internationally.
