Developed in partnership with the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and the Calvin University School of Graduate and Continuing Studies, this online course equips worship planners and leaders of all types of ministries with practical tools for relating well to people from a variety of cultures. Understanding and respecting cultural differences is key to a healthy ministry. 

Why and how did psalm singing become such a hallmark of Reformed worship? Join Dr. Karin Maag for a fascinating journey through time, from Reformation Geneva to Scotland and from the Netherlands to New England, exploring the roots and impact of metrical psalm singing. Along the way, we will hear the voices of early modern Christians as they learned how to sing the psalms, both in unison and in harmony. Come ready to sing! 

Join Common Hymnal, a vibrant online community of creatives on the margins of the Christian faith, for a night of worship, in a movement of honest expression and collective transformation.

Singer-songwriter Wendell Kimbrough will share fresh musical settings of psalms for congregational singing. These songs give voice to the full range of human emotion—from lament and judgment to hope and praise. Come ready to sing, reflect, and experience the depth of the psalms. Wendell will lead this session as part of the weekly worship service time for Calvin University students and community.

Join Calvin University choirs for their fiftieth annual lessons and carols service, which coincides with Calvin University's 150th anniversary celebrations spanning the 2025–26 academic year.
