I’m in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)– a relatively small denomination (though we’re growing!). However, I went to the PCA seminary in St. Louis, Covenant, so there were more PCA churches in my city than in many.

That said, I didn’t preach at only PCA churches while in seminary. In fact, I didn’t preach at ANY PCA churches IN St. Louis while in seminary, though I did preach in a number of PCA churches outside of St. Louis.

I also preached at churches in other presbyterian denominations– Evangelical Presbyterian (EPC), Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP), and Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PC-USA). I also preached at two Christian Reformed (CRC) churches, two independent Bible churches, at least one Southern Baptist churches, and three or four non-denominational churches.

If there are churches– especially small churches– in your area, there are preaching opportunities. Maybe a helpful follow-up post would be how to find preaching opportunities while in seminary. I’ll work on that in the next week or so.
