Polishing the Pulpit is an annual lectureship directed by preachers for preachers. Many of the brotherhood's greatest teachers come every year to lecture on subjects ranging from improving a minister's family life, edification of the brotherhood, how to serve better, and many other topics. In 2008, Polishing the Pulpit was held in Sevierville, TN, and included classes for preachers, elders, deacons, women, youth workers, and members.
