An understanding of identity is important in the life of a local congregation. The decisions that a church makes are rooted in this identity. Any exploration of church identity begins with an examination of how people understand the nature and mission of the local church. This thesis will explore how the act of preaching plays a vital role in the development of a church's identity, both individually and collectively. Based on the recent experience of my congregation and drawing from homiletic theory and other appropriate resources, the thesis will demonstrate how this congregation's identity as a welcoming community developed through preaching attentive to the local context and intentionally relational, dialogical, free of coercion and consistent with other pastoral initiatives in which preacher and congregation are engaged.
