Our goal is provide biblical instruction and practical training to equip anyone who proclaims the Bible – to "rightly divide" the Word of truth in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We seek to support and equip ministry workers so that they in turn, can equip and encourage the people of God, primarily through expository preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Our primary way of doing this is through Olford Biblical Training Institutes, whether they are held at our headquarters campus in Memphis, at your church or via the internet (distance learning courses).

We offer a variety of tapes, books and videos that focus on preaching and Christian leadership. The Stephen Olford Center at Union University is also home to the Ministry Research Library, featuring the T.S. Rendall Collection of 32,000 books, references and an array of audio and video resources.

The Pastors' Plus program is designed to help the busy pastor or Bible teacher sharpen his preaching skills. Every week, Pastors' Plus members receive an outline of a message by Dr. Stephen Olford, one of the world's leading expository preachers. The program is delivered either through email or regular mail and includes access to the archived messages back to 1998. Members also have access to the audio messages that accompany the outlines.
