About
A little bit better, every Sunday
Pulpit Archive helps preachers keep growing. Every sermon you preach is transcribed and read, and its facts (the Scripture, the stories, your pace, the phrases you repeat) are each tied to the moment you said them. What they mean, and what to do about them, is yours to decide with the people you trust.
As Pastor Travis from Story Church puts it, think of a quarterback on Monday morning. He watches the game film and reads his stat line. Win or lose, the stats are the stats, and he’s looking for one thing to do a little better next Sunday. That’s what we’re building for preachers.
It won’t write a word of your sermon, and it never grades you. How it works shows what it does and why.
Made by Concordia Supply, and built with the pastors who use it.
Why I started building this
Andrew Belko, Concordia Supply
I grew up in a small traditional church, then joined a big church, spent years in various African churches, and now seven years with a church plant. I’ve loved every one of them, because I love the local church. I’ve listened to sermons everywhere: under a thatched roof in rural Africa, on the drive to work, from a pew on Sunday morning. Here and abroad, I’ve witnessed how strong biblical teaching stirs God’s people to revival and transformation.
A few times my pastor has asked me about his preaching. Since pastors generally have no shortage of critiques, I always want my words to be grounded in truth and love. So for several Sundays I wrote notes on the church’s prayer cards while I listened. Eventually, an idea formed and I started building.
I firmly believe that God, through the Holy Spirit, stirs a heart to faith, and that he gave the local church its preachers to be his mouthpiece. Preachers have a high calling, and I truly respect them for answering that call. As Paul wrote to Timothy, a young pastor:
“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. … Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.”1 Timothy 4:13, 15 (ESV)
As we build this together, my prayer is that this tool simply helps every preacher using it get a little bit better every week. Rather than replacing the people around them, it’s meant to open real conversations that lead to deeper relationships, growth and encouragement.
Who's behind it
Pulpit Archive is made by Concordia Supply. We’ve served the church since 1949, supplying churches of every tradition with everything from communion to kids’ ministry resources. Churches know us through the resources we carry from publishers they already trust: Lifeway, Crossway, Zondervan, David C Cook, Group and Concordia Publishing House.
We hire people who love the local church and serve in their own. Beyond what we sell, we build tools churches need, like MyVBS.org, which we give away free so VBS can be easier.
Built with pastors, in beta
Pulpit Archive is new, and it’s being built with the pastors who use it. What you tell us changes what we build next. Send feedback from any page, or write to Andrew directly.
During the beta, Andrew can sign in as you to see what you see and fix problems. Any change he makes is logged under his name. More on that.
Next is your own goals: a few things you’re working on this year, set by you or with your coach, and checked on every sermon you preach.
Free for beta pastors. You’re giving us your sermons and your honest feedback, and that’s enough for now. Right now we’re finding out what actually helps a preacher grow. When Pulpit Archive has a price, it will be fair and fit a pastor’s development budget, and you’ll hear it from us first. Nothing is charged without your yes.
Who sees your sermons
Your sermons are yours. Your church’s admins see the sermons preached there. Nobody else sees yours unless you share them, and you can stop sharing at any time. Your congregation sees none of it. We never sell your data or use it to train AI.
Why the name
Charles Spurgeon’s sermons were published every week under the names of the buildings he preached in: The New Park Street Pulpit, then The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit. The series ran from 1855 to 1917, twenty-five years past his death, and kept 3,561 of his sermons. Each was taken down in shorthand as he preached and printed within days, a penny a copy, cheap enough to pass around the family or post abroad.
Nobody set out to build an archive. Someone wrote the sermon down every week. Pulpit Archive keeps that record for you.
