Purposeful Publishing
Imprint is not primarily a publisher, but a ministry committed to training pastors, with the goal of strengthening the church in Africa. Trustworthy, biblical resources are, however, an indispensable tool in this regard. To this end, Imprint publishes material that furthers its vision of training pastors, and makes the resources that it publishes available through its store.
Preaching Workshops
The Charles Simeon Trust preaching workshop is an opportunity for pastors and church leaders to strengthen their expositional skills. These workshops provide practical training to increase participants’ confidence and ability in rightly handling God’s word, allowing participants to grow in their conviction of the power of the Scriptures and their eagerness to teach it to their people.
Weekenders
The annual weekender is a partnership between Imprint and Brackenhurst Baptist Church, where church leaders from across Africa are given opportunity to experience the life and inner workings of a healthy church. It provides a model by which church leaders can evaluate their own churches and observe and discuss the biblical and practical dynamics of a healthy church.
Conferences
Imprint hosts occasional conferences and workshops to help pastors and their congregations grow in healthy, gospel-centred living. These conferences aim to facilitate spiritual growth, foster Christian community, and offer training and teaching in practical areas of the Christian and local church life. Conferences are by no means the primary focus of Imprint and only serve to further its training goals.

Episode #6—Who Does the Admin? Church Administration and the Gift of Service
Ask most churchgoers to identify the key components of church life and they will likely mention preaching, pastoral care, and worship. Few will think of insurance policies, utility bills, or the sound system upgrade. Yet without someone attending to those things, the...
Episode #5—Shepherds in the Workplace: The Vital Role of Non-Vocational Elders in the Life of the Church
Healthy churches require faithful shepherds. While many Christians are familiar with the role of a fulltime or vocational pastor, many churches are also served by elders who carry out pastoral responsibilities while working in ordinary professions. These men are often...
Episode #4—Formed for the Flock: The Pastor’s Spiritual Formation
What does it mean for a pastor to grow? Not simply to accumulate knowledge or hone his craft, but to be genuinely formed—shaped in character, deepened in godliness, and refined by the long, patient work of the Holy Spirit across decades of ministry?Scripture is clear...
Episode #3—Keeping the Gospel Central: The Foundation of Church Life and Christian Living
In countries with a heavily Christianised culture, there exists a dangerous assumption: that everyone in church understands the gospel. Yet if you asked ten churchgoers around the city to explain the gospel, you might receive ten different answers. This reality...
