The Proclamation Trust’s Cornhill Training Course celebrates its 20th anniversary this autumn. Here Adrian Reynolds interviews Christopher Ash, the current course director, about the success of the course and why it continues to serve local churches.

EN: Why did Cornhill originally start?

CA: In 1991, Dick Lucas and David Jackman were talking about the need to train young men in the expository Bible teaching that the Proclamation Trust was just beginning to bring back into the mainstream of British evangelicalism. They felt that the colleges of the day were not equipping future pastors with these core skills.

So David Jackman took an enormous risk, left his pastorate at Above Bar Church in Southampton, and moved to London to start Cornhill, not knowing whether this idea would fly or crash. In the goodness of God it flew.
