Where can I go to study
worship—
not music—but worship?
The Institute for Worship
Studies was founded with that question in mind.
More and more professors
of church music, music ministers and pastors realize there
is a gap in their education. They have the music education and the skills
for music and worship leadership, but they lack the knowledge of the
biblical foundations, historical development, theological reflection and
cultural analysis for effective worship ministry in today’s world.
IWS was founded to meet this need and prepare
leaders for the challenging task of worship ministry in a complex and
rapidly changing world. [more...]
