A place to worship, learn, and connect.

As an ecumenical gathering, the Calvin Symposium on Worship creates space for Christians to worship, learn, and connect with people from many cultures, contexts, and Christian traditions from across the country and around the world.

To prepare well for the conference, we invite you to explore our ten core convictions about worship.

Attending the Symposium is like coming home! The welcome from staff and volunteers was especially precious to me.

I enjoyed seeing the many ways faith can take shape in the world and how it can truly be a unifier rather than something used to divide people.

The moments of worship in multiple languages are extremely significant for me. I greatly appreciate how genuine the multicultural worship is at symposium.

The symposium is always a highlight of my year.
