Earn a master’s or doctorate degree in worship studies from IWS and experience servant leadership in transformative worship.
Do you long to think more deeply, purposefully, and formationally about your own tradition’s approach to worship?
Do you desire to understand worship from a biblical and theological perspective? Do you feel unprepared to apply principles of worship in an applicable and practical way to your congregation each week? Do you need a community of like-minded worship leaders to pray and have fellowship with?
At The Institute for Worship Studies, you will accumulate more than mere head knowledge and a graduate degree in worship
— you will apply what you learn in the classroom within your own ministry context and develop lifelong friendships that encourage and inspire you in your own relationship with Jesus Christ as you lead others in Christian worship.
IWS offers two worship graduate degree programs, the Master of Worship Studies (MWS) and the Doctor of Worship Studies (DWS), and two non-degree certificate programs that are grounded in biblical theology. Courses are offered through a hybrid of on-campus intensives and distance learning to offer both a deep sense of connection among our community along with the convenience of online learning.
*The next on-campus session of MWS 501 and the CWF will be in June 2025.
