The Institute for Christian Worship was founded in 2000 and is part of Southern Seminary’s School of Church Ministries. Under the direction of Professor Carl Stam, the institute serves students, faculty, and local churches by providing lectures, workshops, guest speakers, and other materials that focus on the biblical and historical foundations of Christian worship.

In a commitment to both scriptural fidelity and artistic excellence, the Insti tute for Christian Worship strives to present resources that will encourage and challenge evangelical congregations, especially those within the Southern Baptist Convention, to worship in spirit and in truth—using song, prayer, and attention to God’s Word in ways that enable men, women, and children to understand, embrace, and celebrate the glory of God in Christ Jesus. These same priorities provide direction for Professor Stam’s weekly e-mail devotional, the Worship Quote of the Week, found at www.wqotw.org.
