About Kerygma Ventures
Our Story
For five decades, one message: the King has come, and his gospel changes everything.
Kerygma Ventures exists to proclaim the kerygma — the apostolic announcement that Jesus Christ is King, that through his death, resurrection, and exaltation he has won the decisive victory, and that his kingdom is now breaking into the world. We are heralds of that good news.
For over fifty years, that single message has shaped everything we do: equipping the body of Christ, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and helping men and women live free as sons and daughters of the Father.
Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
Colossians 1:28
What We Do
One gospel, expressed four ways
Everything we do flows from the same announcement — carried into teaching, gatherings, leaders, and the most vulnerable.
Content & Teaching
Monthly Message, podcast, and StudyWithDudley — the irreducible gospel, free to anyone, anywhere.
Ministry Events
Retreats and gatherings at Tesoro Escondido Ranch where people encounter the whole gospel.
Leadership Development
Mentoring the next generation of leaders, business people, and ministers in a single-minded pursuit of Jesus.
Shield of the Children
Our anti-trafficking initiative — protecting the vulnerable, because the gospel moves toward the overlooked.
What We Believe
The convictions that shape us
The Centrality of Jesus
Everything begins and ends with Christ. We refuse to preach merely about him — we present him.
The Kerygmatic Gospel
We proclaim the New Testament gospel in full — nothing beyond it, and nothing short of it.
Sons & Daughters
We help people know the Father as only a child can, and live from that secure identity.
Discipleship That Lasts
Beyond a first decision, we equip believers and leaders to mature and bear lasting fruit.
Founder & President
Dudley Hall
Dudley Hall is a recognized teacher blessed with extraordinary gifts for equipping the body of Christ. He holds a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Bachelor's degree from Samford University.
His formal ministry began in college, leading youth evangelism crusades. Sensing a need for discipleship beyond the initial “sinner's prayer,” he built follow-up training for citywide crusades that touched thousands, and has helped plant churches across the United States and Africa.
Dudley is passionate about the centrality of Jesus and the New Testament gospel. He mentors young men, business leaders, pastors, and ministry leaders — connecting the generations in a single-minded pursuit of knowing the Father as only a son can. His teaching and discipleship materials are used around the world.
