Helping the Church to Think, Pray and Live the Faith
The Office of Theology and Worship supports the church through a variety of programs, resources and events.
How can the church fulfill its calling to worship God, to think responsibly about its faith, and to be obedient to God in all areas of life? The Office of Theology and Worship works in partnership with persons throughout the church, providing services and resources to help congregations strive for integrity in theology, worship, and mission.
Invitation to the Word
Invitation to the Word is just that — an invitation to Jesus Christ, the living Word, through scripture. It is an invitation for congregations, communities, small groups and individuals to be immersed in the Spirit through the Word. It is an invitation to five simple practices that can form us into Scripture-shaped communities, congregations and individuals. It is an invitation to read, pray, study, remember and live Scripture.
Get the Belhar Confession study guide
The 218th General Assembly (2008) began the process for amending the Book of Confessions by adding to it the Belhar Confession. A two-year intensive denomination study is part of the process. A previous Assembly commended Belhar to the church as a “resource for reflection, study, and response, as a means of deepening the commitment of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to dealing with racism and a means of strengthening its unity, bearing in mind that the Belhar Confession emerged from the context of racism in South Africa.”
Order study materials for The Trinity: God’s Love Overflowing
This resource from the Office of Theology and Worship is based on “The Trinity: God’s Love Overflowing,” a General Assembly report for study in the church. An accompanying study guide enables groups to delve deeply into the gift that is the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sessions will focus on the Trinity and the Gospel; what we believe about God; how we are drawn into the embrace of the Triune God in worship and how the Trinity shapes our lives together. In addition, a four-part DVD that features well-known pastors and scholars is available that provides an excellent general introduction to the Trinity and introductions to the three parts of the paper. The DVD can also be used as a stand-alone media piece for confirmation classes, new member classes, and other venues as an introduction to the doctrine of the Trinity.
