Growing in faith is vital for everyone in God’s Kingdom, whether you’re a pastor, teacher, or church member.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. –II Peter 3:18
We’re committed to helping—with workshops, seminars, conferences, and courses you can use for lifelong learning. We structure them to bring worship, learning, and fellowship together to stimulate your intellect, enhance your ministry skills, and renew your spirit. We design them for relevance to a broad ecumenical audience. Many happen right here at Calvin Theological Seminary, many others in a city or town near you, and some may take you to Europe or Mexico. We are pleased to collaborate on many of these events with the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.
So consider your choices and encourage others to join us.
