The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship aims to promote the scholarly study of the theology, history, and practice of Christian worship and the renewal of worship in worshiping communities across North America and beyond.

Founded in 1997, the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship (CICW), located at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is an interdisciplinary study and ministry center dedicated to both understanding and revitalizing the practice of Christian worship.
