Distinguished Preacher Series

Elevate the Power of the Pulpit for Transforming Lives in Jesus Christ

First Presbyterian Church of Delray Beach is pleased to have some of the best preachers in the country as guests for our Distinguished Preacher Series. 


"Our Distinguished Preacher Series programming over the years has brought to our congregation some of the finest Christian ministers of our time.  Each of them bring a new voice from our pulpit; a new confidence spoken about our faith that allows us to hear God's word filtered by their incredible knowledge and experience that challenges us to be better disciples of Christ.  Each time we welcome them is always a joyful experience creating the wonderful opportunity for new spiritual growth and development." (Rob Tanner)
