The Institute for Reformed Worship exists to promote the worship of God according to Scripture. It provides courses, conferences, workshops, and other resources for the study and practice of Christian worship, including prayer, praise, the reading and preaching of Scripture, and the celebration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper. The Institute seeks to promote research and scholarship in the Biblical foundations, theology, history, and practice of worship, and to equip those who serve in leading the worship of the Christian church, such as ministers and musicians. In conjunction with Erskine Theological Seminary, courses offered by the Institute may be taken for credit towards a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree or for continuing education.
The Institute for Reformed Worship is located at the Erskine Theological Seminary Columbia campus, 1500 Lady Street, Columbia, SC, 29201.
