Worship: the Key to the Church’s Renewal
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 worship leaders, pastors, professors, church musicians, artists and other church leaders 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 and its worship degree programs were initiated by Robert E. Webber to meet this need and prepare leaders for the challenging task of worship ministry in a complex and rapidly changing world.
