Mission
Statement
The Institute for
Worship Studies forms servant leaders
in Christian worship renewal and education
through graduate academic praxis,
grounded in biblical, historical, theological,
cultural and missiological reflection in community.
Statement of Faith
The Institute for
Worship Studies, its administration and its faculty confess the historic
Christian faith. We affirm the centrality of Jesus Christ and the
authority of Scripture in all matters of faith and practice. Thus, we
confess with the whole church the summary of faith handed down
throughout history and affirmed by all Christians every where:
 Apostles’
Creed
I believe in God, the
Father almighty,
Maker of heaven and
earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the
power of the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died, and buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day, he rose
again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy
Spirit,
the
holy catholic church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and
the life everlasting.
Amen.
The Institute for
Worship Studies is evangelical in nature and ecumenical in outlook,
embracing and serving the whole church in its many expression and
variations.
